The artist that I chose to talk about is named Maja Wrońska. She lives and works in Warsaw, Poland as an architect and freelance illustrator. She has a Master’s degree in Architecture from the Warsaw University of Technology, and she is best known for her colorful watercolor paintings of European architecture. She started out by selling her artwork on sites such as Society6, but has grown a large following, including over 25,000 followers on Instagram. Her work is featured on her website, http://majawronska.com/ .
Maja Wrońska’s art is inspiring to me because of her amazing attention to detail and ability to capture a piece of complex architecture with watercolor paints, which I personally find extremely hard to work with. Her use of color is also extremely impressive- she uses lots of bright colors and varying shades, which adds a great deal of depth to her art. Overall, I greatly appreciate and am inspired by her immense attention to detail and ability to manipulate colors. Additionally, it’s interesting to me that she paints architecture and is an architect as well- it makes me wonder if she is able to portray the tiny details in well-known structures so well because she understands how it is put together. This principle could also be applied to someone who studied human anatomy and is therefore very good at painting or otherwise portraying people- understanding the science and structure behind something must make it easier to paint or draw.
