Paulina Rega (b. 1994) lives and works in Wroclaw, Poland.
M.A. Painting, Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Wroclaw, 2013–2018
In my work, I emphasize the importance of randomness. By analyzing physical phenomena and translating them into a visual language, I intend to develop the area of aesthetics combining formal and visual minimalism with the use of painting techniques based on experimenting with matter, with the help of air movement, magnetism, and chemical reactions. The partial lack of control, resulting from the limited predictability of phenomena, causes the obtained effects to go beyond the original intention and forces the search for new analogies and connections with the real world. I assume that the experiment will achieve effects beyond the horizon of my imagination, also shedding new light on the nature of natural phenomena.
