Care
“Care” is a composition in which the artist explores interpersonal relationships—familial and friendly alike. At the heart of the work is an organic, geometric form reminiscent of intertwined figures with simplified, elongated silhouettes. Their lines are fluid yet clearly defined by contours, emphasizing both unity and the boundaries between them. Dark, oval elements evoke eyes.
The dominant color palette consists of muted shades of pink, brown, and beige, creating a delicate yet intimate mood. The arrangement of the figures suggests mutual reliance and support. The shapes interpenetrate but remain distinct, possibly symbolizing a delicate balance between providing care and maintaining independence. The composition is harmonious, featuring prominent vertical lines that evoke strength and stability. Symmetrical, repeating shapes give an impression of cohesion and unity, contrasting with the individuality of each “figure.”
Magdalena Nowatkowska’s “Care” is a subtle reflection on human relationships, where care becomes both a bond and a challenge. The artist touches on universal themes of closeness, boundaries, and identity, employing a minimalist style and a carefully balanced color palette. While the painting radiates calm, it also provokes deeper contemplation of the complexity inherent in human connections.
