Cynthia Polsky is a New York-based abstract expressionist artist, whose works are informed by her interest in rhythm, spirituality, and the subconscious. Active as an artist on the New York scene in the 1960s and the 1970s, Polsky’s artworks also reflect the artist’s personal interest in aestheticism and techniques of the Asian continent. Polsky’s work is a celebration of freedom, nature and its processes and emotional temperaments.
