About Ania
Baltimore City
Art for Ania is a personal journey of wholeness, self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. Through her artwork, she continues to discover her authentic self, her purpose and meaning for her life.
Born and raised in Krakow, Poland behind the Iron Curtain of Communism, Ania felt a great divide between the luxurious, colorful and rich beauty of her native culture and the imposed “sameness” and dullness of the oppressive Communist Regime. She often escaped the dreariness of her every-day life to… more

Poems
As I draw or paint, I not only see color and movement, I also see words.
Many of my paintings are accompanied by poems that were inspired by my paintings.
I also have several poems which do not belong with any paintings, at least not yet!

Ascending Through the Darkness
Paintings in this collection are my earliest artwork. I created them before I even knew that I was an artist..... What I mean is that on one had seen these except me. They were in my closet for a long time until a friend convinced me to show them to a gallery curator, and that, as they say, is history...... I had my first gallery exhibit with the first 19 paintings at the Tai Sophia Institute’s Himmelfarb Gallery in December of 2010.
The collection of work that appear in this project is a passionate representation of my journey through emotional and physical healing and the exploration of my Inner Self. These paintings depict powerful and complex emotions brought forth by my intensive and extensive reflection on difficult past experiences and the healing process that occurred as a result.
This collection evokes strong reactions from the viewer with the use of rich and brilliant colors and movement within the images. The paintings invite viewers to come face to face with themselves and to embrace their own inner struggles.

Energy of Color
“The Energy of Color” is a collection of 12 paintings created to reveal the energy of each of the colors represented. Color is light energy. Energy is stored in light. Each color found in the visible light spectrum has its own wavelength and its own frequency, which produces a specific energy and has a nutritive effect.
Color precedes words and antedates civilization, connected as it is to the limbic system of the brain. It is both a subjective experience and an objective feature of the world — both energy and entity. Color is tied to emotions as well as being a physical reality. The intellectual left side of the brain becomes stymied when attempting to describe the experience of color.
From the atmospheric phenomenon of rainbows to the structure of the atom, from the art is t’s palette to the multihued clothes we wear, color is a key that reflects our physical, emotional, and spiritual world.

Purple Color EnergyViolet is a combination of blue and red. Red is a focusing, dynamic and active energy while blue is cooling, calming and expansive. Violet brings a new dynamic to the expansion of blue and the activity of red. Red brings practicality to the undirected expansiveness of the blue, and allows more creative energy to emerge. For this reason, violet is associated with imagination and inspiration.
