Contemporary Mixed Media Artist
About Me
Each painting begins as a feeling, a need to express something. The physical act of laying down those first blocks of colour is a powerful, reality changing statement and observing how those initial strokes of colour interact with each other will guide the initial structure and possible paths that the piece may take.
My figures emerge from a process of fragmentation and healing, of grappling with doubt and seeking connection. Each piece is unique - a moment captured, an emotion, a tension between uncertainty and release. That sense of connection also fuels my landscape work, which is largely based on the beautiful and dramatic scenery here in Asturias, Spain. My work is never the same twice; every piece is unique, capturing moments, emotions and the tension between uncertainty and release. I think and feel deeply and look for honesty in both the messy and beautiful parts of life and don’t believe in following someone else’s idea of what you should be; for me, art is about embracing the imperfect, letting go of expectations and being true to yourself. text and edit me. It's easy.
​Over the years, my life has taken me from my hometown of Lublin, Poland to Cambridge, England, Switzerland, the heat of Madrid, and now to the beautiful, rural landscapes of Asturias, Spain, where I live with my family. Each place has influenced my work in its own unique way.​
Art has always been my way of exploring the reality around me and expressing the experiences that shape us. Since moving to Spain, I’ve had the incredible support of my husband, Tom, who works with me full-time. Together, we’ve been able to nurture and grow my artistic career, turning our shared dream of living and creating in this picturesque region into a reality.

As a mixed media artist I'm fascinated by the interactions between textures and materials and I love to experiment with various media and techniques. Abstraction is fundamental to my work and is a visual tool that I employ to varying degrees to enable me to communicate or emphasise perceptual patterns and the idealogical constructs that form the foundations of my life and art.

Curriculum Vitae
Biography
Magdalena is a mixed-media abstract artist with a Masters Degree in Art and a Diploma in Textiles. She has a strong affinity to nature and loves to explore new ideas and places. Her work is thoughtful and reflective.
​
Born in 1974, Magdalena studied art for 10 years in the university town of Lublin in Poland, supporting herself and her university fees by working full time at a local art studio and studying in the evenings and weekends. After moving to Cambridge, England nearly twenty years ago, she found various venues in which to display her work and received her first offer of permanent gallery representation in 2008. A year later Magdalena moved to a town near Zurich, Switzerland, where she continued painting whilst raising her young children. In 2015 Magdalena and her family followed their dream of living in Spain and after spending a few years under the Madrid sun, now lives in the picturesque, milder region of Asturias in the far north of the country, where she supports her family with her continuing artistic explorations.
