ilona noworacka
Ilona is a multidisciplinary visual artist who works mainly with mixed media: paintings and photography. However she experimenting also with sculpture, ceramics, stained glass, drawing, film and fashion. She graduated at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and has a degree Bachelor of Fine Arts.
Ilona’s interests lie mostly in symbolic presentation of profound emotional states, for which she use the traditional, figurative way of depiction that may become a little abstract at times. The main subject of her work is mostly a mankind, perceived from an existential perspective. Topics of her works are also based on interpersonal relationships, spiritual quests, sometimes religious and personal experiences. They often relate to all the important questions of human existence, which measures and struggles each of us. She find the mask to be an important element in her art image. The mask helps to cover and to adopt into a new role. Finally, a mask is a symbol of loneliness, otherness.
