About me
Renata is an interdisciplinary artist. She creates paintings on canvas, fabric, spatial forms and large-format surfaces. Her current artistic activities were preceded by years of work on oil canvas painting conservation, saving frescos, interior design and classic animation of cartoon films.
Renata paints on canvas motifs derived mainly from nature. She moves on the border of expressive realism and abstraction. Her style is wide brush strokes contrasting with short spots emphasizing the structure and light of the painted fragment of nature. In the last period, she focuses on decorative works on spatial forms. Renata creates mainly symbolic polychromes on reused mannequins, giving them a new life and a place of honor in the world of art.
