I first saw paintings of Hanna Kłopotowska at V.A, Gallery Poland at the Contemporary Art Fair and her works immediately caught my interest. In the following years, I watched her work at subsequent exhibitions and Auctions of Contemporary Art. From year to year, her works visibly caused more and more interest, reaching high prices.

The artist uses various techniques: oil, acrylic and pastel. She also creates white charcoal and pencil drawings which focuses on parts of the body, mostly female. In my opinion, it refers (perhaps unconsciously) to pop art, but what it presents is rather a vision of a contemporary woman, a sophisticated game with an idealized model of the 21st century. Only seemingly, the author shows beautiful faces, her portraits are an insight into the psyche of women, an analysis of moods, life states, expectations, anxieties, fears. In the artist’s works, tension build ​through the contrast between what is static and what is dynamic. The sensual movement that she achieves through the help of twirling strands of hair, the well-thought-out effect of colored light and shade and a feast of intense, pure colors build the drama of the performance. Hanna Kłopotowska’s paintings are hypnotizing, eye-catching, and evoking interest even among those audiences who are not in favor of such “idealized” femininity. We will wait quite a long time for the artist’s further works, as her paintings characterizes by remarkable refinement of the workshop and diligence of the painterly language.
