Art as working through anxiety. Beautiful, interesting and creative aspect of fear. The project of exhibition space with elements of compensation which are a form of therapy.

Ewelina Kaliszczuk says of her work: “I try to sort out the problem of neuronal synapses transmitted via surgery, which create purposely for the purposes of purely artistic. Any reference to nerve cell biology are here quite unscientific nature. Much more important is the effect which is obtained either on paper or on canvas, where branching freely formed creations and lines are a reflection of my emotional states …”
