AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eliza Kołodziej (b. 2000, Poland)
“Candlelight”, 2025
Oil on panel
24 × 18 cm (unframed)
Sometimes the most expressive part of a still life isn't the object itself, but the light moving through it.
The composition centres on a glass candle holder that catches and refracts the surrounding light, filling the surface with shifting reflections. In contrast, the candle itself remains calm and stable, painted with smooth, uninterrupted transitions of colour that stand against the energetic treatment of the glass.
The work explores the meeting of two opposite qualities – movement and stillness – allowing the dialogue between light and material to become the true subject of the painting.
The painting will be shipped in secure, multi-layered packaging with an insured, tracked delivery and a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Seller's Story
I am Eliza Kołodziej, a Polish painter (b. 2000) and MFA graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where I completed my diploma with the highest distinction.
I create oil paintings focused on urban spaces, often exploring moments of tension, emptiness and quiet unease – places that feel familiar but slightly off. My work is rooted in traditional painting techniques, with a strong attention to light, material and atmosphere.
Alongside painting, I also work with textile and craft-based practices, which influence my sensitivity to structure and surface.
My works have been exhibited in galleries such as Bacalarte Gallery and A10 Gallery, as well as in group exhibitions at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. I am a recipient of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Scholarship and multiple Rector’s Scholarships for outstanding artistic achievement.
All artworks offered here come directly from my studio. Each piece is original, carefully finished and shipped securely with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity.
