Beata Pflanz

“My work is about time - its duration, its continuity, and our determinant of it.”

Beata Pflanz is a Polish multifaceted installation artist, poet, and painter. The world around her inspires her and comprises of techniques and subjects, with which she creates an organic reality based upon memory and the inner life. She graduated from the Painting Faculty at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan.

Beata is always on the lookout for fresh stimuli to revitalize her creative urge, and so is continously experimenting. The artist in her open to various forms of art- from traditional canvas painting to video art. She is adept in oil painting, drawing, and graphics. She simplifies the shap e and deliberately avoids figures and while uses color to achieve her contemplation. Some of her works are atmospheric with diffused hues; others are semi-cubist, while in some paintings the forms are galvanized into a cohesive whole with the bold black strokes.

Beata is intrigued by cosmos and the concept of time and space. She says, “I feel that I have experienced other worlds, but is this just my experience, or do others feel the same way?” A highly sensitive artist, in her attempt to portray different dimensions in in paintings, she wonders if will others see and feel the work as she does.

This innovative and dynamic artist currently lives inside her own painting after transforming the 400m2walls of her own house into a single painting in 2009.
