Irena Klisowska-Filipczuk about Lidia's work
To „understand”,embracing with a wide glance, landscapes and studies from the nude painted by Lidia Snitko-Pleszko ,it is enough to listenintently to the unity of climate, which makes her works distinguishable.

A female nude is the main pretext and perspective of vision in paintings and drawings of the artist. These do not exhaust all the artist,s possibilities. Landscape character of her paintings and the stamp of emotions, emanate equally strongly from bigger oil-paintings, where focussing of attention on monumental nature is connected with a strong concentration.

And yet, everywhere, contemplation of the form-both in studies from the nude and landscapes – draws the artist into the world of sensuality, making the surrounding world free, by painting or drawinggestures, from the dignity of existence. The artist, showing great easiness, introduces us into an atmosphere ofburlesque, lightness and sometimes meditation. Into the world of specific female melancholy.

Femine chatacter of the painting becomes, on the other hand, a splendid grou nd work for weaving a tale only by painting, releasing richness of means of expression and many shades of constructing painting and drawing areas. And thus, by stratifi cation of many sketches, drawings and studies leads to independent pictures. A thematic evolution – concentrated on the value of land scape and human figure – shows, at the same time, a varioety of the applied means.
