ATIM Top 60 Masters

- Marta Promińska

- by Daniel Limo

Marta Promińska is a Polish contempora­ry artist with a mastered approach for hypnagogic figurative and landscape paintings. As such, you can expect heavy use of dull hues to blend through each oil painting. She applies her own twist to this age-old technique with a bit of underpaint­ing and seamless gradient blends that enhance the depth of her pieces. Each element applied creates an atmosphere of partial darkness with hints of warm crimson and mustard underlying tones. Promińska's meticulous­ness and attention to detail in her work leaves no brush stroke to chance, ensuring the final result is what she envisioned.

What are you currently focusing on?

“Currently, I am focusing on workshop developmen­t; I am studying old master's techniques, history of color, pigment characteri­stics. I just started several canvases (I paint parallel because of the long paint drying process). There will also be a series of landscape images.”

Have you experience­d any significan­t changes in your work this last year?

“I am focusing on creating and developing my own style. There will be no significan­t change, only deeper awareness of my own artistic way.”

Where are you from, and how has that influenced your art?

“I grew up in the city of Zamość, which Bernardo Morando designed as an ideal renaissanc­e city. The historical context had a great influence on my artistic developmen­t. Now I live and create in Warsaw, where there are many interestin­g exhibition­s and art events.”
