Baba Cmentarna

Overview

A haunting figure from Polish folklore, Baba Cmentarna, is reimagined in a dystopian future. She stands amidst an old cemetery, the traditional graveyard she once roamed. Clad in a cybernetically enhanced body, she is a chilling apparition in this high-tech world. Her gaze is fixed on the viewer when as she attempts to breach a grave of Jan Matejko, a symbol of Poland’s rich history. The painting explores the tension between tradition and technology, suggesting a world where cultural heritage is under threat.
