Magdalena Gajowniczek, Between One Glance and the Next, Everything Sped Out of Control, 2026

105 x 105 cm, acrylic on canvas

Born in 1990. A painter and graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, where she majored in painting. In her work, she focuses on contemporary painting, combining abstraction with synthetic figuration and a geometric compositional order. A characteristic feature of her work is the use of striking contrasts, a deliberately limited color palette, and a dialogue between the expressiveness of the painterly gesture and a precisely constructed form.
The artist explores themes related to emotions, perception, and the relationship between humans and the reality that surrounds them. Her paintings feature both entirely abstract compositions and transformed portrait motifs as well as fragments of the human figure, which serve as a starting point for individual interpretation.
