Susanna Jankowska, Capriciously

60x90 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2023

Painter, poet, equestrian trainer, Eventing competitor and mother of four children. To her credit, she has 2 solo exhibitions and a group exhibition, as well as several painting competitions. Immersed in the world of horses since birth - she is the third generation in a family with strong equestrian traditions. From this intense experience of living in motion, nature and emotion, her work has grown.

"Although the subject of horses will always remain close to me, for the auction I primarily donate paintings of bodies - human silhouettes as landscapes of emotions. I am fascinated by what is under the surface of the skin: tensions, impulses, traces of experiences. The body in my paintings is not just a form - it becomes a space that reflects the inner processes, transformations, questions and forces that build us up and tear us down.

I work mainly in acrylic technique, combining expression and non-literalism. My paintings balance between realism and abstraction, often moving in the direction of symbol and gesture. Each of them is accompanied by a poem - a record of the emotions that accompanied the creative process, a silent commentary on the unseen.

I do not create illustrations of reality - I paint emotions. My art grows out of an authentic experience of living close to the body, movement and feeling - both my own and those around me."
