About the artwork

Life on the Finistère coast is shaped by the power of the ocean and the often unpredictable weather. Once you stop fighting against these forces, you may find yourself enjoying the most fulfilling relationship with nature. I'm Kinga, a visual artist working in the printmaking and photography field. I'm Polish and recently relocated to Madrid from Brest, France. In recent years, water has become a central subject for me, as a matter of environmental concern and for its poetic character in the collective consciousness. Living by the Atlantic coast was my constant inspiration, though my interest in nature has now expanded to include palm trees and their turbulent history on the European continent. In my practice, I explore modern approaches to printmaking, with a focus on minimalising the environmental impact of traditional processes.
