Story / Additional InfoZjawinska has always had a unique style, painting elegant, powerful young women in the foreground. often with desiring men looking on from a distance. This painting is unique even for her style; two beautiful young women lounging, looking seductively at the viewer. Their eyes follow you throughout a room and you feel they are present with you in that space. Rumor has it that one of the girls is Zjawinska's daughter, the other her daughter's friend from University. Thus the title of the painting, 'Age of Innocence.' Truly a breathtaking piece that will be the focal point of conversation for years to come. Vibrant yet subtle color schemes. Soft yet bright at the same time. Deep, dark, and mysterious. Makes you wish you could be in the room with the girls, observing their lives at that point in time.

Joanna Zjawinska

Art Brokerage: Joanna Zjawinska Polish Artist: Joanna Zjawinska is passionate about her work, her life, her family, her homeland, and the United States her adopted home. Passion is the key to Zjawinska's art, and, in equal measure, her art has incited passion in the hearts of her viewing audience. Her life has been operatic in scope, just as Joanna's work is operatic in substance. In Zjawinka's paintings and prints, hints of impressionism, expressionism, and art nouveau are evident within a style that is wholly her own. These influences, coupled with her love for the world of fashion design, color her work but do not define it. Zjawinska imbues each image with a sense of theater. Joanna Zjawinska creates a world of glittering elegance where the people moving within the frame are chic, beautiful and dressed to the proverbial nines. It is world of aristocratic souls, who may or may not give in to base instinct. Then, there is the voyeuristic aspect of Joanna Zjawinkas' images. The viewer feels like an observer who happens upon a private scene and is privy to the secrets of those involved. Therein unfolds the stories within Zjawinska's images. Since Joanna offers considerable room for interpretation, the conclusions to the stories laid out in her paintings and prints are left for the viewer to determine.
