Aleksandra K. Nowak
"Alexandra K. Nowak received her education in both her native Poland and in the United States.
Her subjects range from psychologically loaded portrait to fantastic,
phantom-like figures and very liquid and musical landscapes.
Her style combines elements of Expressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau
in a peculiar and original manner,
like some bizarre yet logical collaborations between Edvard Munch and Gustav Klimt.
She is an artist who imbues every subject that she paints, including a single purple iris,
with a limpid sensuality and sense of emotion.
The figures by Alexandra K. Nowak have also the sinuous elegance and erotic undertones
that we associate with Egon Schiele,
even though most of her models, unlike his are fully clothed.
Her landscapes are very alive and inviting with a feeling of poetry and music.
In the last several years she has served as Director of the Skulski Art Gallery,
Polish Cultural Foundation in Clark, New Jersey.
Her works can be found in many collections in the U.S.
including Johnson & Johnson and Hoyt National Art Institute.
Her exhibits where held by such places as
Polish Institute of Arts & Science of America, Consulate General of Poland,
Harvard University, Johnson & Johnson World Headquarters,
Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C. and Hoyt National Institute for the Arts. "
