PFISHOVA
BIO
Pfishova – a Kashubian – born Polish painter and graphic. Graduate of the Graphic Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. She also attended a comprehensive fashion design study and acting study in Wrocław.
Artist’s work creates a specific marriage of structure and geometry, which is based on a fascination with structural nature as well as traditional techniques such as woodcut, linocut, drypoint, as well as a passion for typography.
He looks for simplicity in colors and forms, but often combining both, then going beyond his frames. She is interested in the subject of plastic and pollution of the planet and the environment, so she often creates using secondary elements such as nets, wires and strings.
Pfishova’s artistic interests are manifold and focused around painting, illustration, animation, fashion design, graphic and artistic design, as well as assemblage (collage).
Some modern inspirations that affect artist’s work are typography. Also common world problems – the omnipresence of waste, plastic, and how they bleed into the environment at large.
To see how the waste can be transformed into art She create using nets, wires, rope, and synthetics. As a professional artist design graphic, fashion, jewellery, paper packaging, small art forms, paper trixy, created scrapbooks.
Her paintings function in a variety of spaces, often the artistic component of utility and residential interiors.
The artist indigenous Kashubian Girl currently lives and works in Wrocław, wherein 2015 she started her career as a professional artist.
Pfishova’s paintings belong to private collections and appear at the auctions in Polish auction houses.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I hunt endlessly in the nooks and crannies of my subconscious, the arsenal of infinite ideas. Carving the most detailed shapes, I make shapes into vectors, showing the way. I follow my instinct, but not without care, going by importance and listening to reason, until all that remains is my own being and the world I create.
The space that is all mine, of which I am aware. The devil’s in the detail, structures and shapes, resembling nothing from afar, but from which the pieces of the soul emerge. The dreams are distorted, hurt feelings too many to count.
I am an artistic soul through and through, trying to carve out my own space in these modern times. I feel the constant pull towards new ways of creative expression, at the same time striving to make things that will ultimately prove useful. In my mind, graphic design and art proper meet in painting and illustration, my preferred ways of expression.
This still leaves ample space for my more pragmatically-oriented interests in which I can see myself developing, such as creation of logos, visual information systems, product design, interior design, mural painting, but also publishing design and typography.
I walk the line between consciously distorted art forms and carefully polished details, trying to identify with every form I create and the space it occupies. My aim is to reflect both the state of things as they are, but also anticipate into what they will turn – obscuring as much as revealing.
Realism is of little interest to me, or rather, what is considered real in a world obsessed with imitation, appearance over substance. The time I spend on an art piece I spend trying to make it uniquely mine, trying to give it what makes me “me”.
This is how I escape pressure of technical excellence, knowing that the focus and devotion I give will shine through my art, making it worthwhile. Looking for inspiration, I look until I can no longer see the obvious, and only when I stop trying to notice every detail, the image emerges.
As a deeply sensitive and empathetic person, I want my art to touch upon what’s important, what’s sometimes painful or difficult to talk about.
This is where the idea of PLANET RECYCLED ART comes from – the multitude of impulses, all equally fascinating and intertwined, can become real thanks to various techniques I find liberating as an artist. All my ideas I put down on blank page, then design. By creating a clean canvas for my art, I escape the mundane reality.
„Buszuję nieustannie w szufladach własnej podświadomości i świadomości nieskończonych pomysłów. Długotrwale dłubię najmniejsze kształty, geometrią nakreślam kierunek. Instynktownie, niepochopnie. Świadomie. Istotnie. Czując. Istnieję wówczas tylko Ja i Mój świat. Moja Przestrzeń. Moja świadomość.
Sedno tkwi w szczegółach, strukturze, kształtach. Z oddali plamy z bliska kawałki porozbijanej duszy. Niezliczone fragmenty pokaleczonych uczuć, zdeformowane marzenia.
Oscyluję pomiędzy świadomie zniekształcaną formą a dopracowanym szczegółem, identyfikując się z daną formą i przestrzenią w której ją osadzam. Próbuję w nieoczywisty sposób odzwierciedlać to co zastane i wciąż uobecniające się. Częściowo chcąc to zamaskować częściowo odkryć.
Każda praca przechowuje część mnie dzięki wielogodzinnemu skupieniu i oddaniu. Odkrywam siebie próbując się ukryć, zwłaszcza przed sobą. Na nowo patrzeć niczego już czasem nie widząc. Nie dopatrując się i nie wyczekując zaczynam widzieć.”
„Dzięki ogromnej wrażliwości i empatii chcę swoją sztuką pomagać, poruszać ważne tematy czy mówić o tym co wstydliwe dla naszej ludzkiej rasy jak idea PLANET RECYCLED ART.
Mnogość fascynacji zmiksowanych i przenikających się wspólnie może urzeczywistniać się dzięki realizacji poprzez różne techniki które dają mi wolność działania. Notuję pomysły, projektuję. Uciekam od oczywistości tworząc sterylne podłoże twórcze dla własnej pracy.”
„Prawdziwy sens obrazu polega na odzwierciedlaniu czegoś, co jest nieobecne, co zatem może istnieć wyłącznie w obrazie. Obraz wydobywa na jaw to co w obrazie nie istnieje, ale co może się zjawiać tylko w obrazie”. Hans Belting
