About this artwork
Joanna Szumska’s “Behind the Turquoise Curtain” exemplifies her figurative–decorative style, where realism blends with fantasy and the whole is governed by visual harmony. The composition is split in two: geometric turquoise bands create a “curtain” from which a woman’s face emerges, adding a theatrical sense of peeking into an intimate scene. Magnolias, butterflies, and a hummingbird form a lush “frame of nature” around her.
Turquoise dominates,… lending freshness and a cool, exotic mood—linked to calm, spirituality, and a hint of luxury. Color contrasts are carefully staged: orange wings flare against the cool ground, injecting energy, while the woman’s skin stays soft and neutral so her face remains the focal point.
Symbolically, the turbaned woman suggests mystery and guarded identity; the “curtain” implies secrecy and intimacy. Magnolias evoke beauty and fleeting bloom; butterflies—transformation and fragility; the hummingbird—joyful, elusive life force and exotic lightness.
Joanna Szumska is a Polish painter trained in Warsaw, primarily working with oil and acrylic paints after a foundation in scenography, graphic, and interior design. Her technique blends landscape, organic abstraction, and figurative elements, drawing inspiration from nature, music, poetry, and urban life. Her richly colored, evocative paintings explore the bond between humanity and nature, the strength of femininity, and the emotive potential of color, inviting viewers into a world of profound emotional resonance and poetic energy.
