Aleksandra Kann-Bogomilska

Warsaw (Warszawa) Poland

Aleksandra Kann-Bogomilska was born in Poland, Warsaw. Her parents, Piotr Kann and Zofia Pociłowska were sculptors. In 1984 under the supervision of Adam Roman she has received a diploma in the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1990 – scholarship of a Minister of Culture and Art. Member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers. She is a sculptor, painter and a conservator and restorer of monuments. Her works, especially those connecting paintings and sculptures, dance and music, indicate the correspondence of arts. This way they explain her emotions, fascination of space, movement, color and sound. Light plays a special role in her art, sometimes literally presented by a flame of a candle but more often as transcendent phenomena. The subject of her art is varied: portrait in sculpture and painting, landscape, erotic and cosmos. Every work is different from the previous one, both in technique and in expression. Nevertheless, despite the constant search for new means of expression, in each piece there is an individual, recognizable gasp of the artist. Works by Aleksandra Kann-Bogomilska were displayed on ten individual exhibitions (in Poland and in Polish Social and Cultural Association Gallery in London), and twenty other collective displays in Warsaw, Berlin, Sofia, Sydney, New Delhi (11th TRIENNALE – INDIA 2003-04" - National Academy of Art), Paris (Autumn Salon, 2013, 2014 issue and Salon 2014 de la SNBA – Caroussel du Louvre); Tel Aviv (Automn International Salon, 2014).
