Agata Lis

Hi, my name is Agata Lis. I am a professional artist and painter with 20 years of experience, specializing in traditional oil techniques.
My artistic journey began in the studio of my father, a metaphorical landscape painter, where I created my very first oil painting. Since childhood, I have been raised in close harmony with nature, with which I feel a deep connection to this day. My sensitivity to the outdoors and aesthetics developed in an authentic way; I observe the real world and the space surrounding me, interpreting it through my own unique visual language. I paint in this particular way because it is simply how I perceive the world. I am deeply interested in the essence of a place and in capturing light and color, which I see as a grand spectacle. In my painting, I search for order and consistency; for me, every canvas is a form of contemplating nature.
The main driving force behind my work is curiosity; there is so much I want to discover and understand.
As an independent artist, I sell my work exclusively through Saatchi Art and the gallery Art in House.
I create thematic painting series, including: In the Open Air
(Parks), In the Open Air (Ocean), and Still Lifes.
