Emerging from the Depths Print

Kinga Sokol is a visual artist working across photography and painting, with a practice rooted in human presence, cultural memory, and emotional stillness. Her photographic work, often rendered in black and white, is defined by restraint, atmosphere, and a sensitivity to moments that exist between action and silence. Alongside photography, Sokol maintains an active painting practice, allowing material, gesture, and intuition to inform her exploration of form and emotion. Across both mediums, her work reflects a shared interest in authenticity, endurance, and the quiet narratives embedded in people and places. Her practice moves fluidly between portraiture, documentary-influenced imagery, and contemplative compositions. Rather than imposing meaning, Sokol allows it to emerge through texture, light, and presence. Her works are developed as cohesive series with clear conceptual intent and are created for long-term collecting, inviting sustained viewing and reflection.
