Aleksandra Szewczuk (born in 1982 in Gdynia, based in Sopot, Poland) is a contemporary painter best known for her contemplative abstract works on raw canvas exploring the relationship between matter, memory and consciousness. Working with acrylics on unprimed fabric, she builds subtle layers that shift between transparency and opacity, presence and absence.
Her practice is meditative and intuitive — a rhythm of layering, pausing and listening to material that transforms painting into a practice of awareness.
Her work has been presented in institutional and gallery contexts across Europe and North America, including the State Art Gallery in Sopot, Art Centre – EL Gallery in Elbląg and Centre national d’exposition in Québec. Her paintings are held in public and private collections internationally. She currently works with the Spaceless Gallery (Paris / New York).
