Justyna Kisielewicz, is a Polish native and a California based painter. Her paintings are cheeky, trendy cool and popping with clever and lively unexpected colors. Her paintings are filled with references to modern pop culture and inspired by the tradition of American and European aesthetics. She has been celebrated by international fashion and lifestyle magazines, as the "rebellious artist from Poland" and as the "princess of pop culture".
Her artistic style and subject matter is non-repetitive, however, it is consistent and sexy. She freely uses inspirations, words and symbols that are subconsciously rooted in the eye of the viewer through culture. She is the master of color and sublime technical expression. Kisielewicz's work is uniquely self-referential and emotionally honest. Her work has been featured in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Juxatopoz, Hi-Fructose. Recently Kisielewicz's work has been acquired to fill the permanent collection of the National Museum in Gdansk, Poland.
