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.
