Ela Wiatr accuses papparazzi of bringing her close to a nervous breakdown.” I go crazy every time I see a camera. My hands start to shake and fear overwhelms me. I feel their aggression clearly. I'm just afraid that someone may get harmed because of my phobia. How am I supposed to drive a car with my children on the back seat and pretend that I don't care about all these cameras aimed at me?” Unfortunately, being a well-known person has its price. Thus we advise to find a good psychologist or just get used to the fact that one will always be in the spotlight. Especially, that Ela tempts curious papparazzi with her appearance alone. Oddly dressed scrag- it always makes an impression.
London Calvin Klein party attracted the attention of many stars who tried to look their best. Among them was Ela Wiatr. Surely it wasn't her night. She looked pale and sad. Similarly to a heroin addict . It's obvious that it was a stylization but still she looks unhealthy.
Ela Wiatr went shopping with the escort of bodyguards. She's still morbidly thin but the fact that she doesn't look like a phantom any more is a bit comforting.
There is only one genius in the land of art: ME!
The ELAWIATR evokes distrust, hostility and aversion with its outfit and behaviour. She always walks fast, upright in eccentric clothes, acts like a star on the front pages of newspapers, despises everything and the field. She doesn't give a damn. People don't interest her at all. She constantly provokes. Her body is very thin, while the fashion is for thicker ones. She is a character that triggers very extreme emotions. ELAWIATR manipulates people. Every day she stirs up individual and spontaneous revolutions around her, the equation "the emanation of its components and natural impulses." The question arises about the boundaries between provocation, art, and the conventionality of norms and madness. Even its chaotic actions have a deliberate and serious purpose. She does not hide behind the status of an artist, often treats the art establishment with irony, does not fit into safe artistic programs, full software New Renaissance responsibility.

“Recently I've bought myself twenty sets of underwear when I discovered that red looks great on me. It's apparent that there will be hundreds of gossips and various speculations about me."- a piece of the radio interview Cracow, winter 2007 '
Everything what is different and subversive is not approved. The art of ELAWIATR is like a virus which infects conventionalized culture, attacking its obviousness. In a word: she starts a private r-evolution. ELAWIATR is not afraid of making even her boldest artistic New Renaissance's dreams come true... at the university, in public areas, everywhere....
Her actions are often defined as the “strategy of craziness and scandal' or ' jumble'.
Artistic independence, lack of understanding, eccentric way of living connected with art and the web of intrigues made Ela Wiatr a public (Academy of Fine Arts) enemy number one.
