Róża Litwa

b. 1982, Warsaw

Painter and draughtswoman. A painting graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, she defended her dissertation in Prof. Jarosław Modzelewski’s studio. She uses art to express her interest in the world as a mechanism undergoing incessant change and following its own rhythm. She tells personal stories in her works, always with a focus on the human motif. She lives and works in Warsaw.

A few brushstrokes suffice for the artist to outline the human form—broken, split in half, the torso occasionally separated from the remaining parts of the body, or showing traces suggesting a fiery cupping. The figure is shown exercising and taking care of the body, or could it be rejecting an unwanted part? Róża Litwa’s paintings are frequently based on specific stories or events. In this case, the piece may be an account of spine problems the artist suffered from in the past. Litwa explores her typical themes of relations with the self, one’s own body, emotions, and the world.
