Hi and welcome to
Pareidolias
About
I'm Aga Siwczyk, an artist residing in Warsaw and a member of The Union of Polish Artists and Designers.
Parelidolias is the way I see the reality. I notice forms and figures in ordinary objects and they're revealing me their stories. Machines, household appliances, mechanical parts and accessories are transformed into surrealistic creatures with personalities and desires. Seemingly free, but at the same time limited to the world of automatic plays, as much loose as imperfect. When I see the "soul" of the object, I portray it to tell the discovered narration.
Approach
I paint surrealism. And contradictions. In my pictures, I'm looking for a springboard from a predictable reality. In Pareidolias, I often search whether artificial can be alive and how much a nature can be a part of a machine. I'm imagining an animal with a detailed shiny metal skin and despite this cold texture, I want to make it vital and full of personality.
