Agata ŻYchlińSka

It is all about communication. A person trying to understand one of its own species, but also one of another [a pet or a wild animal]. Relationships are building blocks of our life. A partner, a mother, a grandmother, a neighbor, an employer. More or less intimate, public, secret, for show or real. You can find that out if you look closely, it is in the gestures and poses, and looks. Look for them in my paintings, as I try to understand this language. It is not about a realistic portrait but rather capturing the essence. By meanings of shapes, I want to tell that kind of universal stories like love, abandonment, hate, suffering, and loneliness. I want to try and find a new solution for the most typical forms using my own, individual language.

Agata Anna Żychlińska was born in a small village called Stara Łubianka in the center of Poland. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk for the first two years in 2013 she decided to move to Wrocław in search of a new artistic environment. In 2016 she graduated from The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, the Faculty of Painting. Currently, she lives and works in Wrocław, Poland.
