Kinga Makowka - Beneath The Weight, Still Standing XXL

Kinga Makowka is a Polish-born, Yorkshire-based artist and graduate of Leeds Arts University. Her 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 multiple opaque layers. Using soft pigments, rich textures, and metallic details, her pieces seem to catch not just light, but time itself. She does not aim to capture a specific physical place, but rather a fleeting moment, a feeling.

Much of her work is rooted in personal reflection. Drawing from family rituals, the quiet of nature walks, the chaos of ADHD, and the peace sought through it all, Kinga invites the viewer into a deeply human space of emotion and connection. It is a cartography of the internal world, mapping feeling through form.

With a strong technical foundation and a growing professional presence, her work has been exhibited in galleries across London and Leeds, attracting collectors worldwide who resonate with her evocative storytelling and tactile approach to the canvas.
