Kalina Winska is a Seattle-based artist whose paintings, created on canvas, wood panels, and paper, present speculative landscapes in which the artist blurs reality and representation, the environment and its technological translations, with imagery taken from weather patterns, climate models, and futuristic landscapes. Winska grew up in Poland and has actively exhibited her works in the US, Poland, Germany, Canada, and Japan. Her recent commissions include a three-dimensional installation for San Juan Island Museum Atrium and large murals for Meta Open Arts and Google’s Artist in Residence Programs. She is represented by AMcE Creative Arts Gallery in Seattle, WA.
“A certain beauty and fragility emerges in these otherwise rigid forms, when they have been crumpled and flattened. Everything here has been mistreated and discarded because it is no longer needed, yet in this abandonment the materials take on new meanings. Working with these objects inspires profound feelings of interconnectedness. I mean here a deep connection to people and objects through the intimate work-sometimes quite intensive physically, psychologically, and emotionally work-with discarded material.” -Kalina Winska
