Sashime Painting

Aleksandra Cegielska (1985), a Polish artist based in Basel, Switzerland, creates works that explore sociological themes through mixed media, including painting, sculpture, textiles, and performance art. Her art is rooted in people-watching and societal observation, examining humanity's values amidst the forces of commercialization, consumption, corporate influence, and digitalization. Cegielska's pieces challenge society to reflect on the complexities of modern life. Through her nuanced approach, she investigates how these forces shape our perceptions and interactions. By blending diverse media and incorporating performance elements, Cegielska crafts art that questions norms and stimulates conversation about contemporary social issues such as equality, basic needs, and core values. Her commitment to exploring the intricacies of human behavior and societal constructs makes her work a unique commentary on the contemporary world.
