An almost Franciscan legend has developed around this Polish-French painter. Boznańska loved animals, as a child she used to ride horses, and even her earliest drawings feature a dog, a horse, cows, or sheep. She had two dogs, Boby and Cui-Cui, a canary called Maciuś, a parrot called Jacquot, and a guinea pig. She could not take in a cat because, to the amazement and sometimes surprise of her guests, there was also a flock of domesticated mice living in her studio. After every afternoon snack, the artist would collect the crumbs, whistle, and the brownish creatures would appear around her. She would carefully feed them, then clap her hands and the flock would scatter to the corners for the next treat.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
