Sylwia Zolkiewska

Painter & New Media Artist based in Warsaw, Poland. Laureate of 2nd Triennial of Polish Contemporary Painting AUTUMN CONFRONTATIONS (2010).

Hello! My name is Sylwia Zolkiewska. I am a visual artist, working across various mediums, mainly painting and digital media (graphics, NFTs)

I received an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland in 2007, and studied Media Arts at Turku University of Applied Sciences in Finland for a while. Since then, I have mainly painted, creating digital graphics and multimedia. In art I enjoy crossing the boundaries of disciplines, experimenting with new technologies, and constantly searching for new means of expression.

THEMES AND INSPIRATIONS
My artworks often explore human interaction with the digital world and digitality itself in an abstract way. They concern the passage of time, memories, emotions, identity, and a state of constant change in a tech-centric world.

CREATIVE PROCESS
My creation process is based on my inner thoughts, reflection, and emotions and on quantitative & qualitative research I conduct on a digital image. These findings are a constant source of inspiration for me, providing me ideas both about form & shape and topics for my artworks.
