Color's story series
At the Landscapes Future exhibition I present 3 paintings from the Color’s Story series, Color’s Journey, which I started in 2023. It is a fragment of a series of large oil paintings that is still being created, takes on its meaning and shape. Color’s Story are very strong images in colors, full of energy and courage. Three lined with each other in the order of formation show a change that happens on canvas. The shapes begin to blur and the colors go softly. It seems to me that at some point I had had enough of these sharp forms, contrasting, cutting colors. I began to draw me in softness, the whole process of emerging colors, improvisation. Of course, the most difficult is to stop the whole process at the time of the most corresponding expectations.
This presentation is only part of my work, but colors and forms, abstraction and inspiration of landscape are my topic from the beginning of creation. I experimented with various techniques, with watercolor, collage, assammblage, resin, in the latest picture I used flurescent spray paint. I am looking for a way of expressing emotions and sometimes traditional paints create too flat surface, devoid of energy.
There is more and more color on my canvases, it is a decisive element that comes to the fore. It is strength and courage. Sometimes it is stronger and sometimes weakens.
Color’s Story, Color’s Journey is a story about myself, determining the awareness of the place where I am the first stages I went through.
This "today" made a long process: color combinations that spoke to me I noted in sketchbooks in the form of drawings with pastels, collages from various materials. From them, many years ago, the color history and color journey began. Collected and hidden in closed notebooks are like event and thoughts diaries.
I send these colors, combinations and transitions, energy and strength and dedicate to everyone who needs it around them.
"The artist's passion for order and order, manifested in the cyclical patterns of random shapes and irregular figures, introducing rhythmicity to her works, is particularly visible in the series of works" Stages. "

Reviews
"The works of Agnieszka Kopczyńska-Kardaś can be called sensual and sensual on the one hand, but on the other hand - full of dynamics and expression. Nature, to which the author dedicates all her works, is for her an inexhaustible source of emotional emotions and rapture"
Katarzyna Zahorska
"Her colorful, often geometric, and sometimes created with a dynamic brushstroke works are a synthetic record of her own fascination with nature and the changes taking place in it."
