Ewa Juszkiewicz

Ewa Juszkiewicz is a Polish painter born in 1984 whose work subverts the conventions of historical portraiture, particularly Old Master and 19th-century portraits of women, by replacing or obscuring the subjects' faces with elaborate arrangements of hair, fabric, flowers, or other organic forms. Her paintings engage deeply with feminist discourse, questioning the male gaze and the objectification of women in art history while maintaining a technically masterful, painterly style. She has gained significant international recognition, with works held in major collections and featured at prominent galleries and auction houses worldwide.
