Philosophical Transformation Magical Realism

Agnieszka Balut, an artist with extensive international experience and achievements, utilizes various media in her work, creating works of a phantasmagorical nature. She is inspired by magical realism, which represents distancing oneself from reality and capturing it metaphysically, relying on symbols, thus transforming and revealing the surrounding reality. Agnieszka Balut's artistic works are created in mixed media: multimedia, 3D, easel painting, acrylics, and digital painting, frequently using gold and silver leaf and vibrant colors. The works are mostly on canvas in 140x100 cm and 110x110 cm sizes. In times of uncertainty and chaos, art is not merely decorative but also has a philosophical and perceptual dimension towards the world and humanity. Magical realism is characterized by a realistic setting, and within it, an "unreal" element, presented as something normal, as if it should come as no surprise. An element that transcends the boundaries of realism is magical. The artist's paintings tell stories, often without a beginning or end, leaving the viewer plenty of room for interpretation. Balut's paintings are rich in poetic narratives and symbols. They draw the viewer into a world where the impossible becomes possible. They deliberately blur the line between dream and reality, without providing clear answers. Elements of the image often reference philosophy, mythology, or archetypes drawn from the human subconscious. Every detail may have a hidden meaning, which becomes apparent only after long reflection. Thus, they compel the viewer to reflect and search for hidden content. Furthermore, the rich symbolism and hidden meanings mean that each image can be interpreted in multiple ways, and each glance reveals new layers of meaning.

Agnieszka Balut is an artist who seeks to interpret our times through her expressive works. Her works reflect the constant changes taking place in our society. Her ability to capture current events, transform them through images, and convey them in the form of a thought-provoking message. Her ability to transform reality into works of art stimulates awareness and prompts us to reflect on our role in building the future. The artist uses various elements in her works. Figures are often depicted as mannequins or replicas. Colors play an important role in determining the rhythm and composition of her works. She is known for her unique and personalized artworks, truly one-of-a-kind.
