First , I transferred my emotions to the canvas , the next step was face painting. The photos contain all my artistic skills. I learn and polish them.
Quarantine slowed down life , momentum. At that time , I was focusing on artistic expression.
The photos are from the series.
"10 faces of Polish women"
according to Slavic myths.
"Świtezianka"

Women cultivating great-grandmothers' rituals and honoring the fertility of nature. It was women who were priestesses of Slavic deities. They did the best on their own, undergoing transformations, changes, going through the cycles of puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. They are full of maturity, strength, and knowledge. They have full understanding of nature.
The photos I sent start the series.
Sessions are held at home in a warm , family atmosphere. In photos , faces are lit with different intensities of light.
