Przezroczyste podróze Marii Kuleszy
Maria Kulesza’s Transparent Journeys

Summary/Abstract: In 2004, Maria Kulesza had an exhibition at the Arsenal Gallery in Wroc³aw, and in 2003, she showed her work at the Castle Gallery in Lubin. In Lubin, we saw her sculpture, stained glass windows, and glass pictures. In Wroc³aw, we saw her own work, and work by Malgorzata Korenkyewicz, Anita Werner, Andrzej Moczyd³owski and Bogus³aw Zena. Kulesza’s glass looked particularly beautiful in the interior of the Gothic Arsenal building. She considers her glass objects as metaphysical portraits of the 21st century people. She combines stained glass window technique and graphic techniques. She uses old maps as elements in her installations. She refers to the motifs of historic journeys and secrets hidden beyond the horizon. She likes symbols. Often, her sculpture resembles the silhouettes of ancient ships. Her ‘metaphysical portraits’ can be considered as her self-portraits, although they show princesses, rulers, clowns, and cyber-nymphs.
