Aldona Jabłońska-Klimczak is a Polish self-taught artist; she paints in oils and pastels. She graduated from the Warsaw Catholic Theology Academy (now Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University) with a degree in philosophy. She was involved in independence activities in Poland from the 1970s until the fall of communism. During martial law she was associated with Solidarity and the editorial board of KOS magazine. She is one of the founders of the Social Educational Society organizing state-independent education. In the 1990s she was a politician in the Democratic Union (later UW), but she resigned from this position. In her work she uses mainly light colors, her works are full of color. Animals are a characteristic motif, especially horses. Jabłońska-Klimczak says of her work: "I try to make my paintings a record of a world in which Good and Evil exist, a world in which God was born and resurrected, but the Devil also exists. In this world every miracle is possible. The interactions between humans and animals can give birth to love, happiness, harmony and fulfillment."
