Katarzyna Jablonska creates works on paper, predominantly
fi gurative, where techniques and composition are important.
The complexity of her art lays in its interdisciplinary practice.
Drawing and printmaking are her favourite media. To expand
the potential of composition, she explores perspective, scale
and angles.
The concept of portraying genuine passion and emotions
through a fi gure creates images narrated through identity,
expression and imagination. The content and story
behind each artwork have played a a fundamental part
of her practice whilst working with dancers, performers
and musicians.
