Malwina Chabocka

Malwina Chabocka (Warsaw, Poland)

The underlying theme of her work is the human psyche. With her art practice, she discovers what people don't express and admit, not just to others but to themselves. Hidden desires and repressed feelings, haunting memories, and inner conflicts; the pain and longing are the main subjects she explores through her artwork. Her interest lies in otherness and difference, manifested through passions and needs which escape socially accepted norms and fight for their reason to exist. She is drawn to the intersection of the rational mind with the most primary instincts, which humans are so unsuccessfully trying to curb.


"Intimacy"
"Intimacy" series investigates the complexity of human feelings in the context of intimate interactions between people. Pleasure, desire, joy, affection, submission, dominance, nostalgia, longing, and loneliness are often found juxtaposed in these physical and emotional relationships formed between two or more people.

Gender is irrelevant here, for these feelings are experienced by everyone in every possible relationship with another human being, regardless of its nature. Intimate relationships are both a place of connection, a blissful shelter from the pains of life, a therapeutic zone, as well as a battlefield where we fight for our independence, dominance or reconciliation.
"I believe that truly meaningful art grows from life experiences, relationships, hardships, and engaging with the world, as opposed to shielding oneself from discomfort and pain. There is nothing I am more excited about than the paintings I will next create."
