Kinga Makowka - Softly We Wander

"Softly We Wander" is an invitation to journey inward, where the whispers of nature mirror the evolution of our own hearts. The gentle interplay of light and shadow in the painting suggests that transformation is not abrupt but a soft, unfolding process much like the first rays of dawn gently dispersing the night. In these subtle hues, one finds a metaphor for life itself: a steady, patient shift where every delicate change leads us closer to the essence of who we are.

This work speaks to the inner landscape, echoing the rhythmic pulse of a world in constant, tender renewal. It is a call to embrace those moments of quiet introspection the pauses when nature, in its infinite grace, teaches us about resilience, vulnerability, and the beauty of becoming. Here, the wandering is not aimless; it is a deliberate exploration of the depths of our spirit, a mindful meander that transforms uncertainty into a celebration of growth and hope.

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. 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.
