Kinga Makowka - Field Study of Morning Light II

Field Study of Morning Light examines the transition between darkness and illumination. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, the composition investigates tonal shift; how light diffuses, settles and gradually defines space.

Built through layered acrylic application directly onto cotton canvas, the surface is developed through intuitive blending and refined with palette knife work. This process creates delicate variations in tone and texture, allowing the painting to shift gently as light moves across it.

Minimal yet immersive, the piece lends luminosity to contemporary, architectural or neutral interiors. It functions as a statement piece.

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.
