Zofia Pałucha

Zofia Pałucha PhD (born in 1993 in Częstochowa) – lives and works in Wrocław.

Her painting combines personal experiences with political commentary, presented from the perspective of contemporary digital media. Pałucha creates sketches on her smartphone by processing amateur photos, random shots, and video clips. She uses apps that allow her to create new meanings from fleeting and often overlooked images.

The artist is interested in how the intimate sphere—the body, sexuality, and the experience of motherhood—functions in a world dominated by the media, technology, and politics. The fluidity and diversity of the images she employs reflect the complexity of contemporary life, in which the private is inextricably linked to the social and political. Her works are multilayered and open to change— they offer a subtle commentary on the fragility of human agency in a
world full of tensions and upheaval.

In recent years, her works have been presented, among others, in solo exhibitions at the Miłość Gallery in London (2025), PACT in Paris (2023/2024), the BWA Studio Gallery in Wrocław (2024), the Berlinskej Model Gallery in Prague (2021), Piktogram Gallery in Warsaw (2020), as well as in group exhibitions at the Wrocław Museum of Contemporary Art (2021) and at Zachęta—National Gallery of Art (2022). In 2025, she participated in the NADA art fair in New York.
She received the Jerzy Grotowski Scholarship (2023) and the Moskita K Mag Award in the “Art” category (2024).
