ANNA SZWARC

The exhibition The World Through My Eyes is a tribute to the beauty of Anna Szwarc’s homeland. Through her paintings, she captures the picturesque landscapes she witnesses daily—breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that paint the sky in a spectrum of colors, the golden glow reflected in the Masurian lakes, and solitary sailboats drifting like lone souls, yet never truly alone.

Much like a lone wolf that finds solace in the moon’s presence after dark, Szwarc’s art embodies a deep connection with nature and solitude. The magical atmosphere of the Masurian region, rich in holiday adventures and endless horizons, nurtured her love for travel, her curiosity about new cultures, and her appreciation for human connection. This inspiration manifests in her portraits of thoughtful, enigmatic, and beautiful women. Their eyes reveal entire universes—reflecting human existence, wisdom, and an undeniable allure.

Amidst her landscapes and portraits, there is also an element of abstraction—a play of flowers, the contrast of light and shadow, and the shimmering elegance of gold and copper.

ANNA SZWARC

Born in 1973 in Masuria—Poland’s enchanting "Land of a Thousand Lakes"—Anna Szwarc pursued her passion for art through studies in commercial advertising, specializing in drawing and painting in the 1990s. Though her education took her on a different artistic path, her love for painting remained unwavering.

Landscapes, sunsets, and water bring her a sense of peace, yet she constantly seeks new inspirations. Her artistic exploration extends to abstraction and figurative art, with a particular focus on the human gaze—the silent storyteller of the soul.

Szwarc primarily works with oil paints, often blending them with pastels and acrylics to achieve depth and texture. Fascinated by the interplay of light, she frequently incorporates metallic gold and copper hues into her work. Using brushes, palette knives, and even her fingers, she layers and sculpts the paint to bring her visions to life.

Her paintings have found homes in private collections across Poland, Germany, Luxembourg, and England. In 2022, she held an exhibition in Poland titled Sunsets, inspired by the serene beauty of the Masurian lakes—often referred to as the "Lungs of Europe."
