In her works, Monika Stolarska examines the multilayered complexity of the world, creating visual narratives in which all elements — natural and urban, organic and industrial — remain part of a single whole. Painting becomes a space for dialogue between the micro and macro scales, between the material and the symbolic. Dense rocks, streams, parabolic stalks, purple mists and pulsating suns intertwine with images of abandoned buildings, discarded large objects, and weeds sprouting from cracks in concrete. This set of motifs creates tension between an apocalyptic vision and a utopian idea of rebirth.
The artist processes her feelings, memories and intuitive traces, building a personal visual language from them. What she sees today stems from what she remembered once — and nature becomes for her the materialization of a world that continually draws her in. Her paintings are a record of the past and a reflection on transience, but also an observation of how destruction and growth continuously coexist in a single, pulsing rhythm. In these painterly spaces, humans and nature permeate each other: the city is overgrown with vegetation, and organic forms emerge in places of former constructions. In this vision there are no divisions — everything that exists weaves together and interacts, creating ambiguous, symbolic landscapes that are at once memory, forecast and a record of the world's constant motion.
Monika Stolarska was born in 1986 in Warsaw. She lives and works here. From 2005–2011 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw; she obtained a master's degree with the dean's distinction at the Faculty of Painting in the studio of Prof. Wiesław Szamborski, with an additional specialization in the Studio of Art in Public Space of Prof. Mirosław Duchowski. Since graduating she has combined her own artistic practice with teaching. An important reference point for her is nature and its rhythm; on the other hand she is inspired by neoplasticism and suprematism.
