Echoes of presence I

“Echoes of Presence I” by Magdalena Nowatkowska is a painting that can

be perceived as a continuation

of the exploration of corporeality

and boundaries. This time, using more subtle means of expression. The delicate texture of the painting captures attention, suggesting depth and complexity beneath the apparent simplicity of the white surface.

The composition is based on recurring elements that can be interpreted

as outlines of bodies.

These are minimalistic, abstracted human forms. The artist aims to depict bodies in a way that transcends literal representation, exploring more universal and essential aspects of human existence. These recurring motifs may also suggest rhythm and movement,

and their subtle differences and irregularities may reflect individuality within unity.

The whiteness of the painting is not devoid of color; rather, it represents

the fullness of light, encompassing all colors of the spectrum. This can

be perceived as a metaphor

for the entirety of bodily experience, which is not limited to individual aspects but encompasses the entirety of being.

“Echoes of Presence” may

be an invitation to contemplate

what we see and how we interpret what may seem invisible or elusive at first glance. It is a narrative about closeness and presence.
