Monika SIWIEC (b. 1995), Under the Sun of Peace, 2025

oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm, signed lower left: Ms

Born in 1995 in Lubliniec. She holds a master’s degree in painting from the Jan Długosz University of Humanities and Natural Sciences in Częstochowa. She completed her bachelor’s studies in the studio of Prof. Marian Jarzemski and earned her master’s degree in the studio of Dr. Bartosz Frączek.

Since childhood, she has been passionate about painting, photography, and nature. By combining these fields—drawing on photographs and her own imagination—she creates oil paintings depicting nature and landscapes.

In her painting, she values expression, dynamism, and spontaneity, while striving to capture the fleeting nature of the moment and the constant change of nature. Her paintings are imbued with an impressionist atmosphere and a subtle fairy-tale quality. Color plays a particularly important role in her work; through it, she seeks to convey to viewers positive energy and the joy that comes from a pure encounter with art.

She currently collaborates with several art galleries, and her works are included in private collections in Poland and abroad.
