Waliszewska is an extremely prolific Polish artist who's work I love, this is a selection of pieces were she explores the wound, or the access to the insides of the body, a recurrent theme in her work. She works with gouache, and takes inspiration from things as sparse as Memling, Poussin, Jan Ziarnko, Enguerrand Quarton, Hans Memling, Japanese horror movies and British skinhead attire of the 70's.
This is only a small sample of her work, other recurrent characters, themes and places in her work are threatening woods, human-eating animals, the uncanny, fairy-tales, violence, stories and myths.
