Barbara Jaśkiewicz was born and lives in Wrocław, Poland, and she graduated from architecture at the Wrocław University of Technology. She was endowed with a passion for painting and the skill of careful observation. On her impressionistic canvases, she tries to show the beauty of the moment and record the reflections of flickering light.
She chose the trowel as an ideal tool for creating oil paintings, and her painting emanates with the purity of colors and sincere joy of life. She finds inspiration in the landscapes of Italy, southern France, Tatra valleys, and floral Alpine meadows. Her subjects also include old park alleys, lavender fields, garden motifs, and genre scenes of picnics and women in hats.
“Painting is like music to me; it has its tones, hues, accents and mood.”
Her paintings are painted with a brush or trowel using the wet-in-wet technique, creating varied texture and pastoso effects. Her work has been presented in exhibitions in Poland and abroad, including galleries in the USA. She has recieved distinctions for artistic perfection and has the status of visual artist granted by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Her paintings are held in collector’s collections around the world.
