“…underneath their apparent state of calm and fancy, Ewa Kujawska’s paintings reveal an inner life in colours, movements, and emotions. Yet, they remain gentle and refined - like the artist herself”
Sylvia Cleinge, Calligrammes Gallery, Ottawa, Canada.
“For my work is not only a continuation of where I have been and what I have seen, but also something between intuition and consciousness, spontaneity and thought.“
Ewa Kujawska
Ewa Kujawska was born in Wroclaw, Poland, where she graduated with a Masters Degree in Painting, Graphics and Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Art. In 1986 Ewa came to Canada and quickly established herself by art, creating primarily in mixed-media techniques, acrylics, and oil.
Her studio practice has been influenced by her travels through the Sahara Desert in Algeria, the Australian East Coast, Thailand’s mountains, the artistic climate in Wroclaw, and her constant connections with Canadian nature.
Her works have been exhibited by galleries, private collectors, and corporations in Canada, Poland, Algeria, France, Germany, the USA, Morocco, and Greece, and she has received numerous awards and distinctions in Canada and abroad. She attended the International Gibraltar Point Artist Residency Program in Toronto. In 2004 -2019, Ewa was creating in Ottawa’s Stafford Studios and ASP Gallery.
In addition, she has been represented by Calligrammes Gallery in Ottawa, by the Societé de Développement en Art Contemporain (Sodarco) in Montreal, by ÉFÉ galerie d'art visuelle (http://galerieartefe.ca) in Gatineau, Quebec and currently in Europe by eine art galerie in Aschaffenburg, Germany (www.eine-art-galerie.de) and Galeria Koscielak in Warsaw.
Ewa has the intuition, spontaneity and awareness for the little emotional moment she gives a bigger, loving space.
