Kinga Makowka - Engine Of Feeling

This work is part of a 2026 collection of Unfiltered Studies.
A series of raw, intuitive experiments created between major bodies of work. Moving away from the structured layers of a primary collection, these pieces are painted with pure instinct and immediate momentum. They are a celebration of the first thought and the untamed energy of the studio.

Designed as a visual reset, these studies focus on the emotional impact of light and the psychological space of the long exhale at a days end. They are intended to act as a sanctuary on the wall for the observer.

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.
