Simplicity of form and color.
Agata Hecman is a Polish visual artist who values aesthetics and timeless minimalism. Her works are inspired by the spatial works of artists such as Alberto Burri, Tapies and Pierre Soulages. Her work is constantly developing thanks to her love of matter and its colors.
Her paintings full of craftsmanship precision are created with great attention to detail, gestures and spiritual connection with her work. In her compositions, form is as important as light and shadow. Irregular textures, hidden traces and cracks on the surface are elements of her works that make each of them unique and unrepeatable.
The technique developed by the artist allows for the creation of incredible depth and texture in her works, which easily attracts the viewer and her works of art give the space an additional dimension.
' My Art is a testimony of constant experimentation with new techniques and materials. In my process I constantly try to create unexpected shapes, structures, shades and extract emotions from the materials I work with. Nature, plants, earth, rocks and light are my primary source of feeling color and surface. I believe that matter has its own soul in its own way'
' In a world where we are constantly bombarded with images and colors, my work becomes a form of meditation that can help us clear our minds and focus on the present moment, forcing us to really look and appreciate the simplicity of form and color.
Process
In the artist's creative process, work on form, texture and light focuses on craftsmanship. Each painting is made entirely by hand. The artist selects her materials with great precision and attention to detail, which are then hand-modelled to cover the canvas, creating a unique game of interpenetrating textures and blurred shades.
' It took me over two years to find the right raw material to achieve the desired texture. Its main carriers are my own mixture of mineral gypsum materials and earth pigments.
In the creation of his works he also uses natural fabrics such as linen, sisal or hemp as well as various types of hand-made paper.'
