Ewa Juszkiewicz

As part of its programme of shows devoted to the Blanca and Borja Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is organising a monographic exhibition of the Polish artist Ewa Juszkiewicz. 

Ewa Juszkiewicz (b. 1984, Gdańsk, Poland) reframes the visual tropes of classical European portraiture, engaging in a critical dialogue with canonical representations of feminine beauty. By deconstructing and reimagining women portrayed in historical painting, she recontextualizes these images within a contemporary framework, opening them to new, layered interpretations. Combining a refined, traditional technique with subversive and provocative content, Juszkiewicz creates paintings that are simultaneously grounded in tradition and boldly transgressive.
