L'artiste

Maria Ciszewska

The artist has been connected with the Artistic Handicraft Cooperative "Artistic Ceramics and Pottery" since 1981, whereas since 1994 she has been a pattern designer.

Two elements have become inspiration for me: a circle and a dot. These are the oldest symbols in human's culture. It is the invention of the wheel that caused such a rapid drive to improve human life. On the other hand, a dot is not only a single mark or its thickness; it is the greatness in the wholeness and the wholeness in the greatness. The combination of two elements: the circle and the dot, gives plenty possibilities when creating different patterns. Dots which permeate one another from the smallest to the largest - or dots of the same size make an interesting decorative element. On the other hand, circles of the same size framed with a narrow or wide cobalt strip allow it to underline the clearness and beauty of the form. I have not used up this arrangement yet. Artistic possibilities incessantly inspire me to show new relations and combinations.
