Żary's Church 2019

Małgorzata Serwatka’s “Żary's Church” emerges with gentle strokes and muted tones, creating a serene depiction of architecture nestled in nature. I can imagine her standing before the church, brush in hand, trying to capture the essence of the scene. The yellow of the building is a warm, grounding presence, like a memory trying to shine through. The bare trees, painted with delicate lines, reach up to the sky, their branches forming intricate patterns against the pale sky. I like how the artist balances the architectural precision with the organic forms of the trees. It’s a dialogue between order and chaos, control and surrender. The textured wall in the foreground feels solid beneath the looming church. It’s like she's acknowledging the passage of time and history. You know, painting is such a beautiful conversation across generations. Each stroke is an echo of those who came before, a testament to the enduring power of observation and expression.
