Anna Matykiewicz

In my most recent series, I explore abstract representations of animal forms—echoes of our deep, instinctual connection to nature and the wild, untamed aspects of the human psyche. These pieces are born from an intuitive process, guided by bold, expressive brushstrokes that allow me to step out of conscious control and into a more primal, emotional space.

My work is rooted in the rhythms of Irish culture and the raw beauty of the natural world around me. These influences, combined with a contemporary approach to form and composition, help me create a visual language that is both personal and universal.

I’m driven by a need to keep evolving. While I began with portraiture, I now find myself drawn to more complex, abstract forms—always searching, always moving. My art is a reflection of that restless journey: a continuous dialogue between the inner self and the external world, between tradition and the unknown.
