Home / Celebrity Biographies / Kasia korzeniecka biography of william
By layering gestures across the water, she achieves evocative forms reminiscent of natural patterns, offering a poetic antidote to mass-produced imagery. Korzeniecka’s work reflects her commitment to ecological sensitivity, using sustainable materials like wood, paper, and natural pigments. The poetic character of her work is like an antidote to ubiquitous mass produced imagery.
Themes of identity, cultural belonging, and personal narrative permeate her work, transforming intimate reflections into universal stories that resonate across cultures and generations.
Katarzyna Korzeniecka
Born in 1976 in Warsaw. By the use of gestures such as punctuating, brushing, blowing and dripping of the pigments on the water surface, she makes toned abstractions, bringing to mind natural forms.
She lives and works in Warsaw.

Afterlife presents us a collection of funeral parlours in Poland.
Only then it will be without the artist as mediator, elevating these places in the twilight to images of balanced composition, calming lines and hypnotic lighting.

Ebru pictures, created by means of water and paints made of natural pigments put in motion, touch upon the metaphysical essence of life, its fragility, and its evanescence.

Katarzyna Korzeniecka
In our work we intended to recall original sense of words: “German Dogs”,
which in polish language, during the second world war, became racist idiom for fascists.Up to nowadays this sentence is deeply rooted in polish consciousness and still associates badly.
In our photo shoot we try to relinke with true, original meaning of words under the personages of a Great Dane, German Shepherd Dog and Dobermann.
As a background we choose highest polish mountains.
Katarzyna Korzeniecka (b.
Without judgement it shows the Polish reality and provokes reflection.
The funeral establishments depicted in the photographs are in places that are bustling with life, in-between grocers’ and wedding dress designers, surrounded by neon signs and omnipresent ads encouraging us to consume. The brutal aesthetics, banners and promotions, all conceal the marketing approach of the funeral branch, where pursuit of worldly possessions definitively wins, while the priority for funeral establishments is to quickly dispose of the dead person’s body.
Making gravestones for dead persons is a manifestation of the need to retain something material, becoming a symbol of victory over death. Her art opens a meditative dialogue with the cosmos, water, and earth, imparting a spiritual dimension, and inviting viewers to consider humanity’s place in the larger universe.
1976, Warsaw) is an artist whose work blends material craftsmanship with conceptual expression, drawing on traditional techniques and unique forms of articulation, bridging the realms of nature and humanity. The works of Katarzyna Korzeniecka, where she uses thousands years old marbling technique, imitate the materials traditionally used by grave-makers.
If we allow it, Rogiński’s work will cause us pain. Embedded in a context of mundane affairs, we see them next to residential buildings, grocery shops, dance studios, hairdressers and restaurants. Korzeniecka specializes in a method called ebru – paper marbling, which she masters, as she puts it, "in collaboration with nature".
In the empty scenery of nocturnal landscapes, Roginski freezes with the silent objectiveness of the camera the pieces of reality where life encounters the metaphysics of death.
