Katarzyna Korzeniecka

Born in 1976 in Warsaw. Graduated from the Faculty of Painting at the Warsaw Academy of Arts in Leon Tarasewicz’s studio. She creates works on paper, makes photographs, videosand objects. The artist is interested in the deepest structures of reality and possible means of their reproduction. Korzeniecka specializes in a method called ebru–paper marbling, which she masters, as she puts it, "in collaboration with nature". By the use of gestures such as punctuating, brushing, blowing and dripping of the pigments on the water surface, she makes toned abstractions, bringing to mind natural forms. The poetic character of her workis like an antidote to ubiquitous mass produced imagery. She lives and works in Warsaw.
