Monologue
This painting is about passion.
The kind that arrives suddenly — with flushed cheeks, quickened breath, and words spilling out faster than they can be formed.
A face built from a single, continuous line emerges not from plan but from impulse. And yet, every part falls into place. This isn’t chaos; it’s a controlled burst of energy. A painting that speaks before we’ve had the chance to understand it.
The blush on the cheek isn’t decoration. It’s a trace of inner tension.
This monologue isn’t performed for anyone; it simply needs to be spoken.
And while the piece radiates emotion, there’s a balance of composition and stylistic clarity that is anything but accidental.
As an architect and interior designer, Marika Jozwiak naturally fuses art with space.
Each of her works is created not only to express emotion, but to live in dialogue with the surrounding room. Here, emotion doesn’t overwhelm the interior — it completes it.
The large scale (120 × 160 cm) allows this single line to become a focal point in the space not by shouting but simply by being.
Monologue is not a performance —
It’s a voice.
Concise, expressive, and real.
