Daria Kardaś (born 1993)
Graduate of painting with a master's degree from the Faculty of Art of the Pedagogical University (currently UKEN) in Kraków. Educator and painter, currently creating in Gdańsk, Poland.

In her work, she explores the relationship between humans and space, drawing inspiration from the philosophy of Marc Augé. The artist is fascinated by “non-places” – transit, passage, and temporariness – which, instead of connecting, become a structure isolating the individual. Her paintings are a visual record of alienation and the nostalgia that accompanies contemporary humans in a world designed for constant movement.

Daria combines high artistic craftsmanship with an emotional approach to the subject. Although for more than a decade portraiture has occupied a central place in her oeuvre, it is now evolving toward a study of a figure entangled in the cold, anonymous architecture of modernity.
