Info
Katarzyna Korzeniecka (b. 1976, Warsaw) is an artist whose work blends material craftsmanship with conceptual expression, drawing on traditional techniques and unique forms of articulation, bridging the realms of nature and humanity. A graduate of the Faculty of Painting at the Warsaw Academy of Arts, Korzeniecka’s practice encompasses works on paper, photographs, videos, and objects. Her work is rooted in ancient methods, particularly marquetry and ebru. By layering gestures across the water, she achieves evocative forms reminiscent of natural patterns, offering a poetic antidote to mass-produced imagery. Korzeniecka’s work reflects her commitment to ecological sensitivity, using sustainable materials like wood, paper, and natural pigments. Themes of identity, cultural belonging, and personal narrative permeate her work, transforming intimate reflections into universal stories that resonate across cultures and generations. Her art opens a meditative dialogue with the cosmos, water, and earth, imparting a spiritual dimension, and inviting viewers to consider humanity’s place in the larger universe. Korzeniecka is represented by Gunia Nowik Gallery; she lives and works in Warsaw.
