About this artwork
The painting raises ecological issue, i.e. destruction of palm forests for human consumption and pleasure. The picture shows an orangutang / an orangutan monkey sitting on a throne, or a velvet purple palatial arm chair . Behind him there is burning palm forest, and the arm chair with the orangutan is standing in a field of still burning remnants, ashes and smoke. The orangutan is wearing a jester's hat and is looking at us with begging eyes. …
What is implied in the painting is a human - an emperor that makes the Earth his own playground and meets a rightful habitant - an orangutang, while destroying his home, and makes him his own court clown for a fun of it. This painting was painted during winter lockdown and shown as part of the Quo Vadis project / exhibition, shown during the European Night at the Museum this year (2021).

« I'm a very restless soul. When creating one piece, I already plan a different one, often in a different style that I haven't tried before. »
Kasia Kaldowski describes her artistic expression as the experimentation with varying techniques that best reflect the mood of an image, or a message that she wants to convey. With a style that ranges from Turneresque landscapes to abstract, as well as as "dynamic dance paintings", and pop art, Kaldowski's diverse compositions are created with acrylics on canvas.
