ABOUT

Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Gdańsk, working primarily in painting alongside spatial, photographic and interdisciplinary practices. Her work explores the relationship between human presence, colour and imagined architecture. Figures often appear in relation to monumental fields, passages and ambiguous interiors, creating spaces suspended between figuration and abstraction. With a background in interior architecture, scenography and visual communication, she approaches painting not only as an image, but as a form of spatial thinking — a point of departure for atmosphere, scale, light and emotional experience. 
FROM IMAGE TO SPACE
