Marcelina Maria MATYNIA (b. 1999), Woman in a pose, 2020

Carbon, paper, 70 x 100 cm, signed p.d.: Matynia M M

Born in 1999.

Artist and sculptor from the Świętokrzyskie province. Graduated from the Józef Szermentowski State High School of Fine Arts with a specialization in sculptural techniques in 2019. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz with a degree in sculpture (2023).

She participated in the Lower Silesia Glass Symposium 'State of Glass' (2022), which ended with an exhibition, the Light Move Festival (2022) and the ReMake Festival (2021).

She has collaborated with the Reclaim the Environment Foundation, creating the ecological 'BeeJuteria' (2022).

Her paintings are surrealistic imagery, in which her work transports the viewer into a world full of unusual associations, symbols and dreamlike visions. The artist draws inspiration from her own imagination, not limiting herself to realistic depictions, but building alternative realities full of emotions and hidden meanings.


The color palette often contrasts, enhancing the effect of unreality and subconscious associations. Each element of the composition is carefully considered, and the details are important to the expression of the whole. In this way, she creates her own unique visual language, which distinguishes her work and gives it a distinctive, recognizable style.
