Zuzanna Skiba's work cycle Painted is the implementation of her pictorial concept using a purely painterly technique. Primarily executed in oil on canvas, sometimes supplemented by other materials such as tar or gold pigment, these works appear like aerial views of imaginary islands and volcanoes, abstracted as energy fields. The artist's painting technique, which has always been impasto, emphasises the organic character of her paintings. The full crust of paint turns the pictures into landscapes themselves and refers back to the conceptual starting point of a cartographic art.
