Klaudia Trzcińska
(b. 28 March 1998, Lublin, Poland)
A Polish contemporary artist working at the intersection of matter painting and minimalist abstraction.
Her practice focuses on the relationship between nature, time and matter. She creates relief compositions from wood, original mineral mixtures and natural pigments, using the organic properties of materials as an integral part of the creative process. The resulting surfaces retain the traces of their transformation - cracks, irregularities and subtle changes in structure become a record of time rather than its negation.
Inspired by the wabi-sabi aesthetic, the artist explores the beauty present in imperfection, transience and silence. Her works balance between rawness and subtlety, inviting the viewer to an experience of contemplation rather than narration.
Her art grows out of a deeply personal reflection on the fragility of human existence, while remaining open to the universal experiences of memory, transformation and hope.

Artist statement
My art is a dialogue with matter.
I work with wood, original mineral mixtures and natural pigments, allowing the materials to keep their own memory, structure and unpredictability. I am interested in a process in which matter is not subordinated to form, but co-creates the work, revealing traces of time, tension and transformation.
I feel close to the wabi-sabi aesthetic - a philosophy that accepts transience and imperfection as a natural dimension of existence. I do not strive for perfectly smooth surfaces. I allow cracks, irregularities and organic changes to remain visible, because it is precisely these that give the work its authenticity.
My paintings do not depict landscapes or specific places. They are an attempt to capture states - silence, presence, fragility and inner strength. They arise at the intersection of intuition and attentive observation of nature, where erosion, light and time are not processes of destruction, but of constant transformation.
Personal experiences have taught me to see fragility not as the opposite of strength, but as one of its deepest forms. This perspective permeates my practice, yet remains only a point of departure, never a literal narrative.
I create spaces that do not provide answers. They leave room for silence, reflection and the individual experience of the viewer.
I believe that true beauty does not come from perfection. It is born where matter, time and light meet human presence.
