Aleksandra Waliszewska (b. 1976, Poland), uses drawing to navigate the shadowed realms of the collective unconscious, where imagery emerges from the boundary between gothic folklore and contemporary anxiety.
Waliszewska’s unique revisitation of Symbolism provides narratives that evoke a sense of visceral unease, shifting between the mythological and the mundane to translate the darker facets of the human psyche into visual form. She pursues a connection through the “uncanny”; dynamics of cruelty and innocence are played out by haunting, meticulously rendered figures. The act of drawing serves as both an exorcism and a revelation, where fairytales decompose into nightmares.
