Kinga Makowka - Autumn Hug

There’s a certain kind of stillness that only arrives with autumn.
The light softens
And for a brief moment, the world feels like it is wrapping itself around you
gently, like a hug you did not know you needed.
This painting is
A breath between seasons.
A moment to feel held, if only for a while.

Kinga Makowka is a Polish-born artist based in Yorkshire, whose work explores the emotional terrain between memory and presence, stillness and sensation.

Working primarily on raw linen and cotton canvas, she builds her paintings in delicate layers; soft pigments, textures, and metallic details that seem to catch not just light, but time itself. Her pieces do not aim to capture a specific place, but rather a moment… a feeling.

Much of her work is rooted in personal reflection a search for meaning for pause. Kinga invites the viewer into a deeply human space: one of emotion, nostalgia, and connection.

Her practice often draws from her own life - family rituals, nature walks, the chaos of ADHD, and the peace she seeks through it all. It is a cartography of the internal world, mapping feeling through form.
