Barbara
Jaskiewicz-Socewicz was born in Wroclaw (Poland), the city in which she still
lives today. She graduated from the Wroclaw University of Technology with
a BA in Architecture. She paints in oils and watercolour and she also
draws. Her subject matter is wide ranging, beginning with landscapes
inspired by the noble sceneries found in the south of France, wild Alpine
meadows or the picturesque valleys of the Tatra Mountains. Gardens and
park promenades scattered with the trees of ancient forests, landscapes of
Silesian lowlands and of Lubelszczyzna appear to an equal degree. The
landscape compositions are joined by genre scenes of picnics, portraits of
ladies in hats and of children picking flowers.Her
portraits emanate a subtle colouring and delicate modelling. In her
cityscapes, ancient Provencal towns and Mediterranean ports are portrayed most
often. The crowded streets and squares of the picturesque Cracow, the
bridges and canals of Venice and city scenes from Ostrow Tumski in her home
town of Wroclaw are all frequent themes. She applies the oil paint with a
palette knife, thus ensuring a rich and intriguing texture. Barbara
Jaskiewicz's oil paintings have been shown since 1984 in frequent solo
exhibitions in numerous galleries. She is recognized as a professional
painter by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, with works being held in
private collections worldwide.
