Anna Szóstak , 2025

50×50 cm

Oil on canvas

In a delightful twist on the classic portrait, this charming piece artfully blends the sophistication of a French intellectual with the whimsical charm of a rodent protagonist. The subject, a dapper rat clad in a beret and elegantly puffing a pipe, evokes a sense of whimsical satire. The rich, earthy palette of browns and blacks is expertly employed, creating a warm, intimate setting that draws the viewer into its intriguing narrative.

Executed with precise brushwork, the contrast between the soft fur and the smooth textures of the beret and pipe emphasizes the artist's technical prowess. The gentle curl of smoke adds a dynamic element, enhancing the depth and movement within the composition. Echoes of both realism and absurdity intertwine, playfully nodding to the timeless elegance of the old masters while maintaining a modern, humorous twist.

About the author

Anna comes from the small town of Skarżysko-Kamienna, Poland. She was born on August 10, 1985. Art has always been present in the artist's life. Her first solo exhibition, "Sin," took place during her final year of high school in 2002. She went to Krakow to study applied graphic design, which she interrupted, and then resocialization pedagogy. Her next step was an experimental trip to Germany, where after a year she opened her own tattoo studio and atelier, which operates to this day. For many years, tattooing was her main occupation, but it wasn't a sufficient outlet for expressing all her emotions. For a long time, she struggled to find her path in life and searched for herself until she rediscovered oil paints. "Painting is the only path I can follow; it gives me peace, it's my most important love and therapy. No one truly knows how many thoughts and feelings are hidden in these paintings..." She is inspired by the Baroque period, fairy tales, and nature, creating new characters or giving animals human characteristics. 2024. Began collaboration with the Desa Unicum auction house. 2024. Began collaboration with the Art in House gallery and auction house. 2025. Participated in an international competition and exhibition at the London Art Bienale.
