Klaudia Krzysztonek

I was born in 1992 in Krakow, Poland. I graduated from the School of Art in Zakopane and the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. I focus on figurative painting, where rhythm, texture, and the tension between surface and depth matter more to me than literal representation.

I'm interested in corporeality, intimacy, and attentiveness — I paint women suspended in stillness, silence, presence. My paintings emerge slowly, built layer by layer, with a contemplative character. They often relate to female experience, but I avoid direct symbols — I prefer to speak through fragment, touch, and light.

I currently live and work in Poland.
