Barbara Wykrota experiments with styles as numerous and varied as the boundless possibilities of life in the world in her oil and acrylic paintings. Her evocative marks capture the improvisational energy of her practice, producing works that reflect a balanced combination of intention and openness. The exciting movement of the forms themselves transform abstractions into expressive actors on her canvasses. These canvases come alive in the simple relationships of color and texture, which create the conditions for a productive meeting of a viewer’s experience with Wykrota’s investigations into the expressive power of the painted surface. Her life experience has taught her to value art as central to both the social world and to the interior worlds of feeling that create the meaningful responses we can bring to circumstances of ease and difficultly alike. Wykrota’s art practice is strongly influenced by her socially and culturally Polish background, as well as by events of the present and her emotional response to them. By approaching life’s sometimes tumultuous changes with a strength born from experience, Wykrota imbues her representations with the cathartic energy of their creation, which becomes available in turn to her viewers through the elemental language of abstract forms.

My artistic inspiration comes from my life, the world around me, and from nature. I love to play with color and with texture; I believe that abstraction can speak to everybody and each observer can have their own experience while viewing my work. My creative process begins with the desire to use a specific color palette and not having any definitive composition planned; I never know what the final result will be and I do not plan ahead but instead, freely paint until I feel that the piece is complete. I express my innermost emotions onto each of my canvases, which are based on my relationships with others and the most significant events that have occurred in my life. I hope to create an opportunity for each person who observes my work to find their own interpretation based on their individual experiences.
