Jadwiga Dominguez-Grau |
|
Born in Poland, as Jadwiga Ewa Zujwoda to WWII survivors, Boris and Marcela, the artist had an enriching and inspirational home environment filled with music and art from around the world. This fortuitous atmosphere was brought about her father, Boris who having been a tenor at the Polish Opera, had nurtured his children’s interests in the arts and humanities, a remarkable feat considering the contrasting political landscape at the time. Growing up “behind the iron curtain” proved to be a challenge for any artist, as communist virtues did not smile on any form of expression other than zeal for the state. She was then encouraged to take a job for the state–run healthcare system upon graduation. Even so, Ewa remained mystified by such modern masters as Kandinsky, Miro, O’Keefe, and Picasso, fueling her passion deep within her by surrounding herself with all forms of art; singing in local bands, sketching her surroundings, writing poetry and dancing ballet in local ballet groups. Undoubtedly, showing a compelling interest in art elsewhere in the free world at such an early age would have propelled Ewa into notoriety much earlier in life. Her life took a turn when she married a Cuban-national in 1969 and migrated to the U.S. in 1974 with her new son. The demands of family and work, rewarding albeit arduous, did not diminish her desire to express herself in art. Her talent and passion for the arts grew stronger over the years culminating when she picked up her palette and brush for the first time in 1988. Being mostly self-taught, her unique style and vision, unbound and unrestricted by politics or convention, evokes a sense of purity and raw emotion igniting the complex blazing core within, and encompassing each of us. She utilizes her unbridled passion for art to create a myriad of pieces including recreations of masters’ works, electronic art, abstract, non-objective, expressionist, still-life paintings, etc. |
