Expressions of Innocence: Art by Aleksandra Cegielska Johnson
Expressions of Innocence
by Aleksandra Cegielska Johnson
Artist's Statement
When my life offered the opportunity, I was finally able to pursue my
all-time desire to engage in art. After the birth of my son, I faced a
strong and natural need to portray him. I started with pencil drawings. With
time, I stirred towards watercolor paintings. I delighted in painting him,
illustrating the ordinary everyday moments as well as the rare instances in
his life. In my paintings, I attempted to preserve gestures and expressions
during solemn, quiet and joyful times. Slowly, I added portrayals of other
children including friends, family, etc. All those watercolor images
together resulted in this series called “Expressions of Innocence”, which is
my attempt to capture the grace and charm of my subjects.
