Ewa Beniak-Haremska

"I draw, therefore I am — the rest is surrealism."
Ewa Beniak-Haremska is a distinguished visual artist, illustrator, and visual storyteller. With over twenty-five years of experience, she works at the intersection of drawing, painting, and narrative, creating worlds where the image serves as a profound structure of meanings. Educated in Rome (Fine Arts) and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (Graphic Art), her style is a masterful fusion of classical craftsmanship and contemporary surrealist intuition.
Her artistic excellence has been recognized globally. She is the winner of the international "Italian Excellence. Illustrations for Italo Calvino", Bologna 2023 and a nominee for the prestigious The Carnegie Medal 2026 for Illustration.
Ewa’s work often explores the lyrical and symbolic layers of everyday life, transforming the relationship between word and image into a cohesive narrative. Currently, she focuses on her "Internal Landscapes" series—artistic spaces where the visible meets the invisible, inviting the viewer into a deep, intuitive dialogue.

Educated in the classical traditions of Rome (individual education of drawing and painting) and Poland (Academy of Art in Warsaw - graphic art) , Ewa has spent over three decades refining a visual language that bridges the precision of narrative illustration with the raw, visceral energy of fine art painting. Her current series, "The Theatre of Roles," explores the complex layers of human identity through a unique "mixed-media" approach.
