Art was always my homeland, with no boundaries and limitations, an unrestricted freedom to create, explore and reflect. It is an extension of me and my experiences, a way to communicate with others, a vehicle to deliver messages that matter. Taking on a role as an artist, not only as a practitioner, but as an educator, philosopher and campaigner I build a legacy of meaning. Drawing from the real life experience, my work is nothing but raw, unfiltered and authentic, aiming to strike the very core of issues presented. Working across disciplines and employing the most valid approach to the topic, I remain open to materials, techniques and methods. My practice is currently undergoing a transition to sculpture and large scope installations mirroring the importance and urgency of the messages considered. Art is my battle field, a ventures into unknown, pursuing the never ending quest for truth, meaning and understanding. By bringing to the surface uncomfortable, forgotten, difficult and complex but significant, my art is nothing but an answer to the inner calling.
Izabela Beata Kuchta (b.1984)in a British - Polish artist, writer, designer and educator. Her opportunistic approach allows to draw inspirations from all around and real life experiences. She remains fascinated with a variety of ideas and concepts which feed into her eclectic visual philosophies. In her work, Kuchta deconstructs and unpacks complexities also playfully constructing new realities while exploring hidden and unknown potentialities. Her early fascination with cubism, surrealism and abstract expressionism visibly influences her work. She stands by the importance of universal existential questions which she locates at the core of human life and informs her practice. Kuchta’s works demonstrates her unique ability to connect broad ideas and concepts, exploring relationships, dependencies and tracing origins of issues in order to address them. Her work attempts to find links between contradictions and complexities in a visual synthesis. Strived by curiosity and inner creative potential she adopted philosophical pragmatism as her approach. Her work fuses dystopian geometry with esoteric ongoing transformation. It provides a visual experience of endless exploration, patters seeking and sense making in a symbolic representation of inner mental maps and complexities of human mind, experiences and existence. Kuchta’s unique and distinctive style and visual language represents her inner voice which finally finds a way out to be broadcasted to the world. She produces mainly abstract paintings, geometric sculptures and installations. She is also actively involved in social and educational projects with an aim to bring social justice and change for better while unlocking human potential. She is outspoken about social issues such as poverty, housing, domestic labour, women’s health, invisible disability, domestic violence and childhood.
Abstract art allows to hold infinities in a singular moment. It is a visual representation of my intellectual pursuit of meaning, truth, understanding and wisdom.
