self-commentary

Beata Filipowicz is an artist who experiments with traditional printmaking. An author’s edition opens the possibility of changes in the content and language of the works. Her creative process is guided by intuition where imagination, coincidence and automatic drawing, play an important role. In the Fields of Possibilities series she express great admiration for the structure of the world, explores phenomenon of life and nature from universal and personal perspective. Her ideas has different source that often refers to eastern philosophy and observations of contemporary physics. The area of her interest is metaphysics, she believes in G. Chirico’s words: ‘Everything has two aspects; the current aspect, which we see nearly always and which ordinary men see, and the ghostly and metaphysical aspect, which only rare individuals may see in moments of clairvoyance and metaphysical abstraction.’
