Margaret Stawicki
Margaret Stawicki is a Polish Canadian, contemporary artists based in Mississauga. Her work is not representational, it is rather a bit abstracted. She likes to create illusion of vast empty spaces, with somewhat symbolic elements to convey absents, isolation and memory and her paintings can be described as modern or narrative, emotional, energetic, and imbalanced.
Stawicki is primary concern with human emotions, creating impression in relation to her personal journey. Most of her work illustrates the choices we make, and the personal interpretations of our lives as we experience life and the passing of time.

I like spaces without horizons. They represent vast possibilities in our life. Without horizon there is no border, there is no interruption to our journey. And I like the road; to me the road has a powerful presence suggesting the conscious or accidental decisions we make in our lives.
Most of my paintings illustrate these feelings of empty, meditated landscape and the quest for peace. Among this vast landscape I often position a little figure finding its way, walking, moving towards unspecified better

Creating this little sculpture, I had in mind the suppression of women in general, but specifically during all recent changes in Afghanistan. To me, it is very difficult to imagen life with all the restrictions women face there in daily life. The hand over the mouth is firmly attached by very strong, difficult-to-remove, rusted nails. It indicates the old, powerful force not allowing for any liberty, rights and freedom. Antique pearls shows that suppression is reaching poverty or wealth.
