"Nowak's subjects range from psychologically loaded portraits to fantastic phantom-like figures soaring through atmospheric auras and cosmic spaces. Her style combines elements of Expressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau in a peculiar and original manner, like some bizarre yet logical collaboration between Edward Munch and Gustav Klimt"
Maurice Tapplinger,
Gallery&Studio, October 1999

"Unlike so many painters of her generation, who distance themselves from their subjects with a smirking irony, Aleksandra K. Nowak confronts and captures the human figure in all its vulnerable complexity"
Lawrence Downes,
Gallery&Studio, 2000
