Ewa Czwartos
Vitruvian Women
Ewa Czwartos (born 1998 in Sucha Beskidzka) studied at the Faculty of Painting at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, where she graduated with honours in 2023 with the project I Paint Because My Mouth Is Sealed. In her work, Czwartos analyzes the construct of femininity, using classical references to bring through reflection on generational burdens and the pressure of traditional social roles. Her paintings are a time machine, a reminiscence of the past world, provoking discussion about historical roles in the context of the present, about concepts that we no longer trust, lost in the multiplying historical narratives. Czwartos works with painting, drawing, and animated films. A co-author of exhibition-promoting videos for the National Museum in Krakow, she also collaborates with the Otwarta Pracownia Artistic Association.
