Kasia Wrona Exhibition opens at CENTRO CULTURAL DE LAGOS on 27th March
An exhibition by Polish artist Kasia Wrona entitled “Flames of Inspiration” opens at the Lagos Cultural Centre on 27th March and will run until 22nd May.
“Flames of Inspiration” is an exhibition of works primarily inspired by the intense and disturbing experience felt by the artist during and following the forest fires that devastated Serra de Monchique in 2003
Kasia Wrona
Observing the destruction of the fire and the subsequent self regeneration of natural life, Kasia Wrona created a series of paintings, and has now put them into context for the exhibition at CCL by including an installation consisting of many objects / “eyes.” In this series of works the artist expresses her interpretation of the primordial elements of life and affirms artistically her “spiritual kinship with nature.”

Hi Kasia,My name is Jim and I am from Saginaw Michigan.My mothers maden name was Wrona and I wondered if she was related to you. Her father’s name was Martin Wrona and he came to the U.S.around 1905 from Poland.My mother and three of her sisters were speed skaters in the late 30’s forty’s and early 50’s.(The Skating Wrona’s)My mothers name was Agnes and she had nine siblings in all.All have passed away but one, my aunt Florence who is in her 80’s.I don’t know alot about the Wrona name as my mother died when I was young and my grandparents spoke mostly polish and broken english.I know my grandfather was a carpenter and was already retired when I was born.He and my grandmother
