QUESTIONNAIRE/
JULIA BOSSQUE
ANSWERS/
BEATA KONARSKA
Who are you ?
A Painter. The mother of wonderful Mela and Paula
Who would you like to be?
The same person, but with wings that would be part of my anatomy on command. It’s like they grew out of my back when I want to fly and then they hid.
What age are you living?
In the present day
What do you do?
Art – mainly through my own creativity, but I also run a Painting Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts
What do you love?
Freedom in a broad sense. Nature. Art.
What are you humming in the shower?
I don’t hum. Unless it’s the Hara hara Gange mantra, but only for a moment – when cold water is pouring on my head, after a hot shower, and it lasts really short. I love water.
What are you dreaming about?
About harmony, balance. A deep connection between people and nature. Common respect and gratitude. About living in a country of color, where there is a general sense of justice and security, and this applies to every person from every social minority and animals. About the streets, where every person can express themselves through a crazy, weird way of dressing. LGBT + couples kiss and it gets no attention..of a world where walking on the street and singing is normal – and it’s not an insta story. World of people who smile at each other. World of people who are kind.
What flavor do you have on your mind now?
Passion fruit
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Pistachio and mango
Color of your panties today?
Black
Coffee or tea ?
Coffee and tea
Cookie ?
Gladly
Dream outfit for every day?
A dress that evolves depending on my mood. It is comfortable as a tracksuit, a bit classic and a little crazy, one day it is black, the next colorful or patterned. Sometimes with a large neckline, sometimes with a turtleneck.
What are you doing right after you wake up?
I look at the sky and the trees.
Champagne or vodka?
Champagne.
What are you inspired by?
It could be anything
What song is playing in your head right now?
Bach’s two-voice invention in A minor. A piece that I played at the music school on the piano and it was engraved in my head forever. He just sits there and accompanies me.
The painting you love?
I got to know and love the works of Hilma af Klint – an outstanding pioneer of abstract art, still not included in the history of art. Her art is an absolute blast.
A book that you read for the first time and made an impression on you?
In the high school „Hundred Years of Solitude”
[Gabriel Garcia Marquez]
The book you’ve read recently?
„Sticks, stalks” [Patyki, badyle] by Urszula Zajączkowska
What do you believe in?
In connection with the cosmos. Universal energy flow. In a soul that wants to be integrated with the body and the mind. That we are elements of a much larger whole in Time-Space. And we are dependent on the forces of the universe.
What is love?
Life would be meaningless if it weren’t for love
Do you love yourself
Yes!
Paper or digital?
Definitely paper

If you could choose which Photographer would take pictures of you?
Sebastião Salgado
The movie you are in?
„Youth” Sorentino
The character you are in love with?
I adore Ziggy Stardust, but I don’t love him.
Favorite city?
Venice in autumn during the Biennale
What do you enjoy the most?
Sex with my beloved one is too obvious and much more than a pleasure, which is why I hesitate between : lying dressed in the sand by the sea with my eyes closed on a warm September day, and lying naked after leaving a cold lake on a hot pier in summer
What will you be doing in 20 years?
I will be creating all the time
What’s your bedding now?
White
A fragrance that makes your heart soft?
Generally flowering trees, shrubs, preferably still wet after rain. Then I smell myself with my whole face and melt away. Jasmine, lilac, wild rose, fruit trees…
A poem you know by heart?
Horace’s Diffugere nives
Favorite cartoon from childhood?
Maya the Bee
What attracts you about other people?
They interest me very much. In every way.
What kind of flowers do you like?
All. From super modest in the sand dunes, sapphires in spring, wild tulips in a vase, wildflowers in meadows, blooming magnolias with large petals, avenues of rhododendrons and azaleas in the botanical garden in Powsin. Ferns. I love peonies.
Favorite donut topping?
I’m not a fan of donuts.
What question would you like to ask yourself?
In fact, I ask myself this one, but I don’t think I know the answer yet: what kind of bird would you like to be if you were a bird?
What animal is sitting in you?
A deer, a wolf, but also a bird for sure. I used to think it was a pegasus, but I’m not sure now.
Who would you have dinner with today?
An intimate circle with friends. And maybe more extravagantly – everyone would be their own animal avatar. The tail of a black panther wrapped around the wolf’s neck, the decadent gaze of a monkey puffing a twist, an ancient parrot talking to a peacock about its Ayahuasca flights, a white bison reading aloud a part of a book. And it’s just such common cooking, chatting, delicious wine, zebra plays music. Relxed.
And who is breakfast with tomorrow?
With Michał
