Disguised Painting

Malwina Chabocka graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland. For a number of years, she worked across fine art, graphic design, illustration, animation and writing, gradually identifying her area and language of expression, before she made painting her primary focus. Ever since her London degree, she's been investigating the ideas around body, sex, and mental health, both in an artistic and academic context (BA thesis on fetishism, followed by MA thesis on masochism as a creative force for artists). Author of two children’s books, she developed site-specific art events, graphic design for short films, and scenography for theatre and operatic productions, including “The Burial at Thebes” opera at Shakespeare’s Globe in London and “The Little Prince” musical at the Musical Theatre ROMA in Warsaw. She has participated in solo and group shows in the UK, Portugal, Poland and the Netherlands. Since 2022, she's been living in The Hague, Netherlands, where she's a member of Stroom Den Haag, a professional artists' network. She is represented by Zoe Garner & Oil Art gallery in Manchester.
