Cloudscape I (With Red Targets), graphite, acrylic, and gesso on panel, 18 x 24 in
Kalina Winska
In my art, I explore various ways of observing and visually comprehending the weather through
direct (human sight) and indirect means (satellite or radar imagery.) The artworks often result in
paintings on paper and canvases that formally explore indexical shapes of clouds in combination
with meticulously layered symbolic signs of targets or molecular formulas of greenhouse gasses.
They are abstracted snapshots of land- and cloudscapes visibly marked with human activity. My
art, full of vibrant colors and pulsating shapes, is about our changing interactions with the
environment, where virtual and natural worlds become blurred, and about having space and
freedom to imagine alternate environments and better solutions for the climate crisis in the
future.
