Face, 2011
The painting 'Face' from 2011 by Ewa Juszkiewicz, created with acrylic and collage on canvas, measuring 18 x 13 cm, signed on the back: Ewa Juszkiewicz. This is one of the artist's early works showing her fascination with the travesty of traditional portraiture. In the form of a surreal collage, the model's face has been masked and replaced by an organic composition, challenging the canons of femininity and representation in art history, giving it individuality and new meaning.
