Description from the seller

Eliza Kołodziej (b. 2000, Poland)
“Misty River Vistula” / "Mglista Wisła", 2018
Oil on canvas
100 × 70 cm (unframed)

Painted during a plein-air workshop in Kazimierz Dolny, this work captures the view across the Vistula River on a morning covered by dense fog. While exploring the town beyond its busy centre, the artist reached the riverbank, where the opposite shore almost completely disappeared behind a veil of mist.

The composition is built around this uncertainty. Trees, buildings and distant forms merge into pale silhouettes, while the fog blends with the surface of the water, making the boundary between river and air almost impossible to distinguish. What is normally one of Poland's most familiar landscapes suddenly appears distant, mysterious and almost unreal.

Rather than documenting a specific place, the painting captures the sensation of standing before a landscape that refuses to fully reveal itself, inviting the viewer to imagine what lies beyond the mist.

The painting will be shipped rolled in a sturdy tube, in secure, protective 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.
