 Elzbieta
Krawecka is a Polish-born artist who creates studies of the
sky and interpretations of the landscape reminiscent of European
landscape painters. The soft and ephermeral landscapes are anchored
by a hint of realism. With an underlying theme of the sky as
a reflection of our collective consciousness, she paints beautiful
cloud formations and atmospheric effects. The glimpses of land,
roads and buildings below seem almost universal in appeal.
At a young age, Krawecka moved from Krakow, Poland with her
family to Kuwait on the Persian Gulf. Her parents worked as
architects in Kuwait for nine years. Krawecka has continued
to be a frequent and experienced international traveler since
that time.
She received her formal art training at the Ontario College
of Art and Design (OCAD) between 1989-1994, and she participated
in OCAD’s Off-Campus Program in Florence, Italy between
1992-1993.
Krawecka has been exhibiting her work throughout Ontario since
1997. Her distinctions include an artist residency at the Pouch
Cove Foundation in April 2004 and first prize at the Ontario
Society for Artists Juried Show in Toronto in 2003. She has
been represented by the Diane Farris Gallery since 2006.
