Description from the seller

Rajka Michalska (Poland, Gdansk, born 1994)

Title: Selflove
Year: 2021
Technique: oil on canvas

Dimensions:
160 × 120 × 2 cm (canvas on the stretcher, unframed)

Description of the work

The painting is a large-format abstract composition with an organic, biomorphic character. Soft, fluid forms and subtle color transitions create a sense of movement, bodily presence, and transformation.

The composition operates with a restrained but intense palette — dominated by yellows, pinks, purples, and warm flesh tones. Layered paint application and a visible brushstroke give the work lightness while also depth.

The work refers to the relationship between body and emotion, corporeality and perception — balancing between abstraction and the suggestion of figurative forms.

Signature

Signed on the back of the canvas.

Provenance and authenticity

The work comes directly from the artist’s studio.
A certificate of authenticity can accompany the artwork.

Condition

Very good condition.
No visible damage, repairs, or conservation interventions.

Shipping

The painting is shipped on a stretcher (ready to hang), carefully secured for transport.
International shipping with tracking number available.

Contemporary abstract painting with organic, biomorphic forms exploring the relationship between body, emotion and fluid movement.
