A selection of Agnieszka’s “Women of Africa” collection to be displayed at PEAC in January.
Princeton artist Agnieszka is set to display her original artwork at PEAC Health & Fitness in January.
Agnieszka’s art reflects her lifelong interest in world cultures. Her exhibit at PEAC features a series entitled “Women of Africa,” which is inspired by her family’s stay in Libya when she was a child.
Agnieszka, a native of Poland, recalls being mesmerized by the African landscape, architecture and most of all, the people.
“The women from sub-Saharan Africa exuded charm, sensuality and elegance, adorned in brightly colored fabrics. It was such a contrast from the grayness of communism, which existed in Poland at that time,” she said in a statement. “I would see them carrying children in their arms or gracefully balancing decorative water jugs on their heads. I have always felt a very positive energy emanating from this visual memory.”
She is set to donate 10 percent of the sales from her art display at PEAC to The Desert Flower Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness and provide support for victims of female genital mutilation.
PEAC is located at 1440 Lower Ferry Road, Ewing.
