Magdalena Morey

About Me

My work, whether abstract landscapes or abstract figures, begins from the same place; a response to something alive, changing and never fixed. I don’t see the landscape as something to be copied, nor the figure as something to be simply described. Both are experienced as events, shaped by rhythm and movement and always open to transformation.

I grew up close to the land, playing with stones, sticks and mud, and I continue to live surrounded by nature today. Art has become my way of connecting with it, of carrying on a conversation that has been with me since childhood.

My process is rooted in movement and energy. I use strong colours, flowing lines and layered textures to create a sense of continuity. The lines that appear in my work suggest threads and fibres, veins and roots, bonds and connections that weave through both the landscape and the figures that inhabit it. These lines convey rhythm, as if stitching or dancing, and reflect the sense of life and connection that I find in nature and within my personal relationships.

What unites all of my work is this search for movement, energy, and connection. Whether it takes the form of a figure or a landscape, I want each painting to embody a sense of life’s shifting rhythms, always unfolding and never still.

Curriculum Vitae

Biography

Magdalena Morey was born in 1974 in Lublin, Poland. She graduated from the C.K. Norwid Art College in Lublin, where she earned a diploma in artistic textiles. In 2000, she completed her studies at the Faculty of Arts at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, receiving a Masters degree in painting under the guidance of Professor Walenty Wróblewski.

After moving to Cambridge, England, in 2005, she began exhibiting her work in various art spaces. In 2008, she started a long-term collaboration with a gallery near Cambridge. A year later, she relocated to a town near Zurich, Switzerland, where she continued painting while raising her young children.

In 2015, together with her family, she fulfilled a long-held dream of living in Spain. After several years near Madrid, she settled in the picturesque region of Asturias, in the north of the country, where she continues to develop her artistic practice. She is currently represented by several international galleries and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world. Her works are held in private collections across various continents.
