When I watch Beata Murawska's drawings, my memory suggests to me, as a background image, the Sleeping Gypsy by Henri ''Publican' Rousseau, Giorgione's, Venus Asleep, or the Venus with a necklace by Maillol. Venus - that Old-Italian goddess of spring and gardens, who was later on to be identified with the Greek Aphrodite; the one whose cult got Hellenised, the goddess of spring and vegetation being turned into the one of love.
