Mother 5 1993

Małgorzata Serwatka’s 1993 painting, “Mother 5”, depicts a mother and her baby in a tender embrace. The mother’s large, fleshy form is rendered in pink tones, while the baby's tiny body is tucked into her arms, emphasizing the maternal bond. The background is filled with abstract shapes that appear to represent the mother’s internal landscape, suggesting a sense of intimacy and interconnectedness. Serwatka's work explores themes of motherhood, femininity, and the complexities of the human experience. "Mother 5" is a powerful example of her unique style, which combines elements of figuration and abstraction to create a deeply personal and evocative image.
