Ewa Bathelier

Painting

Polish, b. 1962

Ewa Bathelier born in Warsaw, Poland graduated from medicine school and later was introduced to her artistic career. Her paintings have been displayed in many galleries around the world including Ca’D’ Oro. As a scenographer, she made the stage and costume design for Beckett and Pinget’s plays in Berlin as well as other cities around Europe. She is also associated with poetic publishers in Poland who go by the name “Kwartalnik Artystyczny” with this influence at the palms of her career she has become imbued with appropriate emotions for her professional journey.

Ewa Bathelier’s experience as a costume and set designer in the theater is clearly reflected in her signature acrylic paintings. Having spent her adult life in France, the artist focuses on one of the country’s most famous cultural exports—ballet, specifically ballet attire. Light, free-floating, and symbolic, the primavera dresses, leotards, and tutus she depicts are thrown into relief by their monochrome backgrounds, though the garments conspicuously lack the bodies that are meant to inhabit them.
