Joanna Kucia

I am a Polish-born collage and mixed-media artist based in the United Kingdom. Rooted in surrealism and introspection, my work explores identity, memory, belonging and transformation. Living between two countries has shaped my interest in the connections between places, personal histories and our inner worlds.
Combining vintage photographs, architectural details, botanical imagery and fragments of old books, I create compositions in which familiar elements take on unexpected meanings. Female figures are central to many of my works, becoming spaces where hidden emotions, memories and imagined worlds meet. I think of my works as quiet harbours: places to pause, reflect and discover your own associations.
My collages develop through a careful process of selecting, layering and transforming imagery. In selected works, I add hand embroidery to fine art prints, introducing texture, rhythm and a physical trace of the artist’s hand. This interplay between image, paper and thread allows me to explore fragility, connection and repair.
My work has been exhibited internationally, including at the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona and the Ferrara Biennale in Italy. It has also been featured in Photographize, including its 100 BE...

I was certified as a Fine Artist by the Museum of the Americas in 2023.
