Kinga Makowka - Low Light, Full Heart

We always leave a little later than we should.
One last photo. One last snack. One more stop to watch the wind in the grass.
How could I rush this moment?

Then the sun starts slipping behind the hills.
The walk back becomes a race.
The boys laugh, running ahead,
chasing shadows.
I follow slowly, watching the way the fading light turns everything soft and golden.

One day they will outgrow this trail,
but you will find me here still.
Where the light dips low, and my heart is full.
Always

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.
