Blue Painting

Aldona Jabłońska Klimczak was born on 19 May 1948 in Gdańsk/ Poland, where she spent her childhood and teenage years. That was where her two great passions: painting and horses started. Warsaw, which saw the beginning of her studies at the Academy of Catholic Theology, brought about the third: her involvement in politics. Aldona Jabłońska started her adult life not only with a degree in philosophy and married to her university friend Tadeusz Klimczak, also a philosopher, but convinced that it was not philosophy that she wanted to devote her life to, but to painting. At the same time, the language of art became the tool to acquire knowledge about the world, and a form of expression. Aldona Jabłońska-Klimczak was also involved in the “underground” activities of the democratic opposition of the 1970s and ‘80s. After 1989, she helped to create new, legal institutions, as well as political and community organizations.
She also helped found an independent school. To a large extent her artistic path was determined by consciously linking life with creativity. Despite other commitments, painting, however, has for decades been one of her most important everyday activities. Through her visual language, she comments on events taking place in the public sphere as well as in her private life. She goes her independent way, continuing to develop her own style, trying different techniques and different means of expression.
