hand with daisy-hope

this artwork is a striking portrayal of a hand delicately gripping a single daisy against a muted gray background. The realistic depiction of the hand contrasts with the simplicity of the flower, emphasizing themes of fragility and contemplation. The pale tones and subtle shading create a sense of depth and dimension, while the sparse color palette underlines the poignancy of the solitary daisy. The ace of light falling on the hand suggests a fleeting moment, capturing the transient beauty of nature intertwined with human touch. The piece commands attention through its minimalist approach and evocative symbolism, inviting viewers to ponder the relationship between humanity and nature.

about the artist:

justyna kuklo is a polish visual artist, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer based in brussels. Her practice encompasses painting alongside unique contemporary works utilizing traditional bobbin lace techniques.

originally from eastern poland, her artistic path was deeply influenced by her roots. She began her training at the art high school in supraśl, focusing on traditional weaving crafts. She subsequently moved to the academy of fine arts in gdańsk, where she studied at the faculties of painting and artistic education, earning a master’s degree in painting and illustration. She furthered her education in belgium at the académie royale des beaux-arts de bruxelles, obtaining a master’s degree in textile arts.

as an interdisciplinary artist, kuklo divides her professional activity into two primary currents: figurative oil painting and contemporary fiber art employing belgian bobbin lace.

her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across europe, including poland, belgium, france, spain, the czech republic, and monaco. Her accolades include:

2010: the prix du legs serrure (brussels).

2009: nomination for the national award for best artistic diploma in painting (poland).

2006–2008: scholarship from the polish ministry of culture and national heritage for outstanding academic achievement.

justyna kuklo’s work often explores themes of femininity, tradition, and identity. Her painting style is predominantly figurative; a fascination with the sea (from her time in gdańsk) combined with the belgian lace-making tradition (from her years in brussels) results in a signature style defined by meticulous detail and a sophisticated use of color. A central feature of her work is the search for a synthetic language to narrate emotions and relationships. Her compositions often focus on a specific detail—a pars pro toto—that serves as a gateway to a larger narrative about the human condition.

early in her career, kuklo collaborated with the katarzyna napiórkowska art gallery in warsaw, a partnership she has recently resumed after several years. This piece has an attribution mark,
