Artwork
Agata says her inspiration for this painting was a quote from Heraclitus - "No man ever steps in the same river twice." Three panels ripple with layers of turquoise, blue and deep green. Pops of red bounce on the surface. One can imagine coming to each of these abstract pools along a calm riverbank.
This piece is a triptych, composed of three separate panels measuring 8"x8". On each panel, a small section of the front was taped off and painted white, creating a clean modern look that imitates a floater frame.
Agata Kijanka
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Artist Agata Kijanka creates sensually textured abstract paintings. Working from visual and emotional memory and imagination, Agata builds each artwork in layers - applying paint with scrapers and brayers, transferring paint from other surfaces, and removing paint with solvent and blades. One of the defining moments for Agata as an artist was when she moved alone to Santa Fe from Seattle in 2008. As she explains, it was "a beautiful place that I love with its rich art related history, plentiful galleries, and inspiring landscapes. I anticipated staying for 6 months but I ended up staying for 4 years." She continued her artistic journey to Sedona, AZ and now lives in Albuquerque where she works from her home studio. Putting down roots in the southwest has influenced Agata's work, especially time in the desert, the sunshine and open skies. When she's not painting, Agata enjoys cooking, gardening in her desert yard, and talking endlessly to her rescue dog.
