Ms. Maslowska generally works independently, however she collaborates with various groups of artist from different parts of the world, which adds to her artistic development. The diversity of cultures, landscapes, light and color inspires Maslowska. She is mainly occupied with oil painting, but also works watercolors, acrylics, distempers and pastels. Strong light contrast is the characteristic feature of all her paintings. The pastels, especially three most representative cycles Nudes, Knots and Ballet gain brightness due rubbing layers of dry pastels into the paper and later painting with brush. Bigger oil cycles Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, are the result of the artist’s wandering about in these courtiers. A cycle Children depicts Maslowska’s children. In addition has been recently presented in Poland, Denmark, Finland and Austria.
