Barbara Skowronek Contemporary Art - Paintings and Drawings

Barbara Skowronek is a contemporary artist based in Poland, who creates expressive abstract works under the brand Kokumo. Her artistic practice focuses on the profound interplay of color and form, utilizing a wide range of techniques to produce both abstract,semi-abstract and sometimes figurative and surreal paintings that resonate with emotional depth. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas and paper, Barbara Skowronek often integrates mixed media elements such as pastels, charcoal, and coal to achieve specific atmospheric textures and visual complexity. Her creative process is characterized by intentional experimentation, where she allows colors to blend and forms to emerge organically, often leading to unplanned and evocative results on the canvas. This approach is evident in signature collections like "Targowisko," which is inspired by the warm and vibrant tones of a marketplace, and "Zmarzlina," which captures a cooler, more mysterious aesthetic with its palette of blues, whites, and blacks. Other notable works such as "Lapse" and "Aborygeski zar" further demonstrate her versatility in handling different emotional themes and visual styles. Barbara Skowronek draws inspiration from her immediate surroundings, color combinations and film aesthetics constantly seeking new ways to connect shapes and textures. Her work has been shared across prominent platforms, allowing her to connect with a broad audience of art enthusiasts through her dedicated exploration of contemporary abstract art.
