We would like to invite you to the Palace of Fine Art in Krakow for opening of a group exhibition of paintings “DREAMING WOMEN” - Magdalena Daniec, Kasia Domańska and Sabina Maria Grzyb.
MAGDALENA DANIEC.
Born in Kraków in 1974. Painter, visual artist.
She creates paintings using collage techniques, as well as oil and acrylic painting.
In addition to canvas paintings, her studio also produces unique works on cardboard, created using her proprietary technique. Her early work was discussed in the book Icon in 20th Century Art by Renata Rogozińska.
She is the author of solo exhibitions, a finalist in art contests and painting reviews, and a participant in art fairs and group exhibitions in Poland, Lebanon, Spain, France, Moldova, Germany, and Switzerland.
In April of this year, at the BWA gallery in Sanok, the artist presented her latest exhibition Traces in the Sky, Signs on the Earth. This title reflects a great deal about her painting.
Magdalena Daniec doesn’t paint literal representations of the world but rather suggestions, often melancholic abstract fragments, reasons for longing for the sky and places she misses. In her paintings, she avoids literalism and instead encourages the viewer to explore various interpretations.
In summer, she paints blue suggestions of landscapes; in winter, works from the Albums and Diaries series in warm reds emerge.
Just as important as canvas painting are her works on cardboard. These are very intimate expressions of the artist, mini-narratives about tenderness, longing, and femininity.
KASIA DOMAŃSKA.
Painter, artist, born in Warsaw in 1972. Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw at the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture. Her works have been exhibited worldwide, including in New York, London, the Florence Biennale, international fairs like Art Basel in Basel, Switzerland, Art Miami, and Art Palm Beach. Her pieces are in private collections in Europe and the United States. Currently, she has an individual exhibition in Gstaad, Switzerland.
Her painting is an expression of passion for beauty in all its forms, from exaltation to everyday life. She speaks of affirming life and its fleeting beauty: the shine of the sun, sparkling light, and the intense glow of colors. She reflects on the timeless bond between man and nature. The affirmation of nature and life becomes a symbolic celebration of emotions, moods, and reflection in her art. Meaning is found in the hidden, which the artist allows to speak freely through her art.
SABINA MARIA GRZYB.
Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Faculty of Painting and Sculpture. She received her master’s degree in art in March 2017.
Her painting focuses mainly on the composition of static rock formations. She weaves real motifs and experiences into dreamlike spaces. Balancing between abstraction, fantasy, and realism, she maintains her own unique form. Her nostalgic, dreamlike landscapes are monumental, creating imagined worlds of extraordinary beauty. In her painting, full of ambiguity and suggestions for viewer reflection, Sabina Maria Grzyb uses various motifs to depict thoughts, feelings, and doubts. Her work, rich in metaphors and meanings and with a certain dose of melancholy, refers to human existentialism. She is often considered a creator of dreamlike, fantastical landscapes. In her art, the most important elements are the connection with nature, imagination, dreams, but also distance from herself – a form of self-therapy expressed through intentional dissonance. Her works are in many private collections both in Poland and abroad.

 

Palace of Art

pl. Szczepański 4

This Art Nouveau building decorated with the likenesses of famous painters and sculptures has hosted exhibitions by some of the most important Polish artists.

Built in the style of the Viennese Secession, this early 20th-century building was erected for the Society of Friends of the Beaux Arts incorporated in Kraków nearly five decades earlier. Right from the outset, the gallery lent its exhibition space to leading Polish artists. The building is surrounded by a gilded frieze designed by an eminent painter of Young Poland, Jacek Malczewski. It presents the symbolical life of an artist: on one side we see happy figures, and on the other – unhappy ones. Situated on the sides of the building are busts of renowned Polish painters and sculptors, and the main façade has the patron of arts, Apollo, overlooking the entrance in a radiant halo.
