"Małgorzata Jastrzębska rejected the soft painterliness of Orfism. Her forms have sharp edges - you can see that she uses tape when painting, so that the demarcation of the plane of color is clear, firm. Although she paints with a soft brush and oil paints, she achieves an effect as if she were using a compass and scalpel. On the table in her studio lie physics and mathematics textbooks. What amazes me most, however, is that these bravura, intricate paintings are created "out of the blue," with no preparation in the form of composition studies. This artist doesn't need any sketches! Is it because the forms and colors in her paintings are born as naturally as the thoughts in her head?"
