"Alla ricerca di armonia",
Glaza Expo Design Gallery, Danzica, Polonia,
giugno 2006
The dream of every artist is to display their own work in a prestigious gallery. The Glaza Expo Design gallery is very well known in Poland and is filled with fine arts. This year it is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary. I would like to invite you all to come experience the many masterpieces of the youthful Ewa Kalińska within the walls of this gallery. Over the past few years Ewa has engaged herself in the act of perfecting the canvas of her personal artistic creativity, which makes her the controversial subject of this expose. To many, a favorite technique of Kalińska is her magnificent application of these arts, which allows her to portray emotions to the utmost capability.
For ages, the world has been an inspiration to artists and creators and most of them portray earth's natural beauty without much improvision. Others were more interested in the display of self emotions and opinions within their work. When it comes to Mrs. Ewa Kalinska, her motives are dominated by the complete image of her compelling creation. Only a wise and knowledgeable artist could produce art with such a selfless purpose. Ewa attempts to find interesting colors, shapes, lines and forms for her work.
The structure of the very first woven fabric relied on a thread that was woven in a structured pattern. From that historical point to today, different kinds of fabrics have been formed in order to provide necessary changes which in turn give opportunity for a more creative finished product. Such a canvas is a dominating choice for artistic voicing. Different strokes and techniques form a new type of artistic style. From these styles come fascinating perspectives which proved Mrs. Ewa Kalinska with a background to work upon. I would like to congratulate her and the energy she puts into the creation of her unique, delicate, and fantastic art.

Questioning the beauty of our everyday subjects should be rhetoric, our surroundings and our every day encounters are not just practical but aesthetically pleasing. This enlightened view is portrayed through Ewa Kalinska's submission of art by way of the highest standards. In her latest showing, three notably assembled elements of home furnishings were noted. These said elements consisted of new artistic formations which together created splendid decorative draperies, marvelous coverlets, and superb throw pillows.
As plain as a wall can be, it can also form the most exceptional canvas. A window provides artistic opportunity, full of earth's bountiful plant life which one may encounter in undulating prairies, and plentiful gardens. Life is rich with nature and an unadorned white hue, although the one who believes this is wrong, is thought to be incapable of portraying this richness. A window gives an artist a chance to show an uncommon opportunity through which the color white can in fact be used in many shades. All of these factors are reliant on the variety, and shade of cloth used in this sort of creation.
At first glance one will be drawn to a scene of ballooned floral bells over which butterflies' appear to lively flutter, because of their perceptible arrangement on a mesh fabric, above these authentic floras. However, one cannot forget that when working with a simple window, it must remain open to the outside world. For this intelligible reason, the integrated imaginative elements seem to come out of a fog, while others emerge covertly from the background and innocently peak into our home while protecting us from outlying factors.
The coverlets are utterly dissimilar from the previous decoration, and combine more color. They seem to adapt to a wider variety of uses such as: an ornamental coverlet for a bed, an attractive floor mat, or in my opinion are best as inspirational wall hangings. Most of these coverlets are a mosaic of earth tones, light greens and an assortment of browns illustrating contrast amongst delicate hints of periwinkle and violet floral bells which are seen reaching up from this unique tapestry. Others consist of dignified trees allowing a viewer to become lost in the heart of an unfathomable forest.
To complete this collection Ewa's had created enhancing throw pillows. In shapes of leaves and snails one may feel the need to "Run with their soul towards the leaf"(Adam Mickiewicz)1, especially because the form of the pillow appears to portray a snail, with the intent of slipping down off of the leaf in order to begin a journey. In order for one's home to be well decorated, one may hang paintings, purchase very exclusive furnishings, and cover the floor with expensive rugs, but in order to detain something more than simple accessories, these decorations need to posses the qualities of fine arts.
