Marysia Burr

Artist Biography

Marysia Burr's artistic focus has included the portrayal of human figures as well as landscapes. Her style has sought to resolve the intrinsic dichotomy between realistic and abstract art, prints and posters.

In the blending of these two approaches to art, prints and posters, Marysia begins with a realistic approach to her subjects and then introduces the counterpoint of abstract shapes and colors.

"I have always been fascinated with motion. The beauty of any form of dance, it's grace, sensitivity and clearness of movement, fascinates me and elevates me above everyday life. The expression of emotion gives the viewer a glimpse into the soul of the dance. Dance is a language of art, which needs no translation. Through my own art, I seek to express my experience with human emotion, to portray that emotion with shadow and light. My art, prints and posters are a personification, finding elements of nature in the human condition."
