Pola Yankee - Where the peace is
Description
Where the Peace is is a piece that evokes figurative associations in the viewer. The distant horizon of a quiet sea fades into a sky dusted with clouds. The clouds bask in the shy rays of the sun — the work seems to capture either dawn or dusk. Pola Yankee surrounds her audience with therapeutic care. The titular peace — or quiet — emanates from both the symbolic and coloristic layers of the artwork.
The inkograph "Where the peace is" by Pola Yankee was released in a closed limited edition of 20 copies.
Pola Yankee — a Polish painter born in 1987 in Warsaw. Raised in an artistic family, she has been painting since the age of 16. She earned her degree with distinction from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in 2012. She has participated in both national and international exhibitions, including two solo shows (Toruń, Alliance Française 2010; South Bend, Bernacchi Gallery 2009). She has sold several hundred works, which now reside in private collections in Poland and abroad. Using gradient, impasto, and glazing techniques, she creates multidimensional abstractions — often bordering on landscapes. She is most fascinated by the emotional power of color on the viewer.
