Straws in the Wind
Szilvia Ponyiczki
£600
Description
Part of the Imaginary Landscapes series. An ancient sky unfolds in fragments—sun discs, starbursts, the branching tree of life, and arrows evoking the breath of a wind god. These primal motifs of birth and becoming emerge from layered depths, flickering like constellations of memory and echoing the mythic rhythms of time.

About the artist
Szilvia Ponyiczki
Lincolnshire, United KingdomSzilvia Ponyiczki
Lincolnshire, United KingdomMy Imaginary Landscapes are abstract, symbolic paintings that explore themes of creation, transformation, and the unknown. Inspired by ancient myths, dream symbols, and archetypal imagery, each work becomes a kind of visual tapestry, woven from the cultural stories and patterns that continue to echo through time.
I’m fascinated by the idea that we all carry a shared memory of humanity’s past, something Carl Jung called the collective unconscious. My paintings draw on this idea, combining dreamlike forms and ancient symbols into a personal visual language. I think of these shapes as a kind of hieroglyphic code, shaped both by research and instinct.
The work evolves in stages. I often start with watercolour sketches or small lino prints to develop ideas, which then grow into larger oil and acrylic canvases. These finished paintings are immersive fields where symbols and shapes seem to shift and float, much like memories or dreams. Rather than illustrating specific stories, they invite viewers into a space of quiet contemplation, where forgotten myths and hidden connections can be felt.
I’m influenced by artists like Paul Klee and Joan Miró, whose work explores the space between the inner world and the outer one. In a similar way, I want my paintings to act as portals—offering glimpses into something timeless and mysterious.
Ultimately, my work is about exploring the invisible: giving form to feelings, memories, and inner truths that are hard to put into words. Through colour, shape, and texture, I invite others to step into these imagined worlds and discover their own reflections within them.
