Mucharska,Maria-Twenty Past Two
Twenty Past Two

Painting Acrylic
Size: 50 x 60 cm.
Not For Sale

Description: Acrylic and mixed media on stretched canvas. Twenty Past Two, that was the time which popped into the mind of my partner a year before it happened! This was not the first time my partner has sensed the final moment of somebody he loved. For who or which day of the above remained a mystery until that moment arrived. On the 26th January 2010, an appointment was made for a vet to visit and to put to sleep our beloved dog: Starlet (Gwiazdeczka). When the vet and assistant said they would arrive at 2'o clock, we already knew what time it was actually going to be. The vet was late and gave Starlet the injection at exactly twenty past two. It was heart breaking! Starlet was our beloved pet, who will always be with us....in our hearts and minds...., we miss her so much. When I created this painting, I tried many times to fix the hands of the clock at twenty past two, but always the hands moved a few minutes late, in the end I gave up......., maybe those few minutes are more to the correct time (if our clocks were wrong) or maybe this was the last few minutes before she passed? This painting is 5th from a series which I have created and dedicated to life of one dog. Starlet was born in my house and I assisted her mum in helping to bring her into this world and from the first days of her existence, she was fighting for her life! In her lifetime she endured 6 operations, which saved her life, this dog that managed to bounce back time and time again but also managed to be a happy, friendly and an intelligent friend. The first painting which starts her story, tells of her birth and the tragic event connecting to this: You Will Become a Star in the Sky: http://www.mucharska.me.uk/arts/119-BedzieszGwiazdaNaNiebie.jpg And next ones: Safe: http://www.mucharska.me.uk/arts/120-Save.jpg Starlet: http://www.mucharska.me.uk/arts/121-Starlet.jpg This is not Goodbye, I'll See You Later...: http://www.mucharska.me.uk/arts/150-This-Is-Not-Goodbye....jpg Twenty Past Two: http://www.mucharska.me.uk/arts/152-TwentyPastTwo.jpg

Biography
 
Statement
I was born in Poland in 1958 and emigrated to England in 1989. I am an amateur photographer, however I also enjoy working with computer generated photography and painting, which is my favourite medium. Painting is part of everything I do now and I hope you will take the time to look at this site. I'm a very enthusiastic artist and I'm interested in every medium. As part of my Art Course I started with ceramics went on to photography and finally computer experimentation. Painting, especially in oils is my favourite medium. I can completely lose myself in my art, there are no boundaries, no restrictions, my imagination takes me into an unknown world of colour and fantasy. I'm extremely influenced by dramatic contrasts of light, shade or shining, reflecting surfaces in nature. I like to capture the moment on camera, scan it onto my computer to design my final piece. ************************************************************************** Two of my paintings was short-listed for the SAA International competition, the Artist of the Year Awards 2000 and 2001. *********************************************************** *************** Now one from my photographs is shortlisted in the photographic competition for Visions of Science, which was organised by Novartis and supported by NESTA. The photograph "Boiling Watter" will be exhibit in two sets touring the UK from October 2003 and throughout 2004 http://www.visions-of-science.co.uk/ ************************************************************************** Also at this moment one from my digital room manipulated photographs: "My Window of the World" is shortlisted for "Through the Window December Competition" organize by PHOTOzine online sponsored by Nikon http://www.ephotozine.com/photocomp/index.cfm?Compid=14 ************************************************************************* Many of my photographs have been published from time to time in cats and dogs magazines, and a few times in "Amateur Photographer" in the Mike Maloney's photo assesment column.
