About Korrie


Korrie Dawn Iablonski is a Canadian realist artist based in Peace River, Alberta, whose work draws heavily from the rich traditions of Baroque and Dutch Golden Age painting. Born in the 90’s, Iablonski has developed a distinctive style that blends the meticulous techniques of classical realism with contemporary sensibilities. Specializing in figure studies and still life, their work is characterized by a finesse of light and shadow, precision in detail, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

Working primarily with graphite, charcoal, and oil paints, Iablonski creates beautiful compositions that evoke the dramatic contrasts and rich textures found in the works of Baroque masters. Their figure studies explore the human form with both anatomical accuracy and emotional depth, while their still life paintings capture everyday objects in an almost reverential manner, elevating them to the level of fine art.

Drawing inspiration from the grandeur of the Baroque era and the quiet elegance of Dutch Golden Age still life, Iablonski strives to capture moments of stillness and introspection, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty and transience of life. The artist's commitment to technical precision and their ability to evoke mood and atmosphere in their work make them a notable presence in the world of contemporary realist art.

Iablonski continues to live and work in Peace River, where the natural beauty and tranquillity of the surrounding landscape inspire much of their creative process. Through their art, they aim to preserve the timeless techniques of classical realism while contributing to the on-going conversation within the contemporary art world.
