Born 1958, Poland the artist lives and works in Krakow, Poland Was born in Krakow, where she studied at the Department of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in professor J. Szancenbach’s studio. She obtained a diploma with distinction. She occupies herself with monumental and easel painting, drawing, graphic art and computer graphics. Scholarship-holder of Minister of Culture The work by Malgorzata Mackowiak shows few signs of earthy prove- nience, bearing as it does almost no relation to the common environ-ment that, no matter whether we approve or resist, forces itself upon us. It can be compared to a collection of samples, scrapped off from reality, and causing it to radiate energy and valour. The world appears here as a infinite space full of traces left by people of good will. with no menacing danger and conflict. Mackowiak�s performances show no lack of the fairy story element. In spite of it, we won�t find here either any beautification of the world or shirking from fundamental questions. And the material aspect of this art has nothing to do with squeezing out of pigment pulp from the tube. The real corner-stone and the decisive value of Mackowiak�s paintings, is the sort of perception that it offers. Before the observer starts looking in her works for the anecdote and narratives, he will have noticed a piece of canvas covered with throbbing trails of glaze, the noble colours. One finds it difficult to leave the exposition. And, after all, this is what matters. Website: art gallery Malgorzata Mackowiak Contact email: mm@malgorzatamackowiak.art.pl
