Bio

Magdalena Lis
I’m a contemporary figurative painter based in Warsaw, Poland. I graduated in Printing Technology from the Warsaw University of Technology and in Painting from the Warsaw School of Arts. Currently, I’m continuing my education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. I work with oil painting, printmaking, as well as traditional and digital collage. My practice often involves combining painting and printmaking techniques.
At the core of my work is the human figure in relation to space, emotional states, and existential tension. I also explore themes of alienation, environmental threats, and the ongoing collapse of civilization — often evoking a post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
