"I started to paint my breast landscapes after having my first son in 2018. Like many new mothers, I spent a long time breastfeeding my baby and was eternally looking down at my own body, watching my son. This view from above imprinted itself on my mind, a profile view of my own body."
"I had in mind a kind of hilly emergence, with the breast as the source of life per se, the origin of everything. This image was so omnipresent in my life that I continued repeating it constantly."
Jagoda Bednarsky creates large-scale paintings that blend body parts with nature, featuring motifs like breast mountains and personified moons. Her work reflects personal and familial objectification, emphasizing women's bodies as symbols of life. The artist's experience as a new mother influenced her choice of the breast as a central motif, representing life and origin. Bednarsky's art challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with their bodies, using humor and cultural references to address themes of wellness and motherhood.
