Jagoda Malinowska (b.1995) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, Poland, majoring in Painting. In her artistic endeavors she refers to traditional plastic values, in which the workshop is as important as the concept. She refers to realistic representations, taking inspiration from 19th- and 20th-century masters. When creating paintings, he often assists with photography, but does not reproduce the digital record; he uses it as a kind of contemporary notebook, which allows him to collect a large amount of visual information in a short period of time. In his work he takes up pro-ecological motifs and sociological themes that are a visual story about the status of man in the modern world. The use of figurative art emphasizes the desire to explore the experiences of the individual, focusing on the individual sensory experience of reality. In addition to traditional workshop techniques, the artist also works with digital graphics, which she also uses for her seemingly academic paintings. Currently, she is working on a series in a completely different convention, moving away from realism towards surrealist paintings showing an ultra-modern world devoid of logical rules and filled with subconscious fears of continued existence.
