Paulina Jazvić is an established artist best known for her characteristic artistic style reflected primarily in large format paintings as well as art installations created at the boundary between the traditional painting and abstraction. She is an artist with talent for a quick, expert and neat line, excellent drawer. She often uses the black continuous line in creating different figurative forms frequently combining them with the use of reduced palette of colours, usually red and yellow. She further enriches artistic expression in her paintings by covering the surface of the canvas with bits of photographs, imprints of objects, various inscriptions and other visual vestiges. The artist questions her own role of a woman and mother from the point of view of a typical female position in modern society.
