BEATA POLCZYK

Beata Polczyk (born 1988 in Poland) - creates objects at the. intersection of visual art and craft, transforming natural materials into paper cut-outs and felted wool pieces that explore emotion and the cyclical rhythms of nature. Drawing inspiration from classical and jazz music, as well as the subtle colours and textures of the natural world, she translates musical compositions into a contemporary visual language — through colour, form, and the tactile qualities of natural media such as wool, wood and handmade paper. Her works invite viewers into a dialogue between material and imagination, where sound finds its echo in texture and light.

She comes from a family with a multi-generational tradition of artistic craft, which she seeks to revive and continue in a contemporary form. With a background in horticulture and landscape design, she has always maintained a close connection to nature, finding in its rhythms a guide for her choice of materials and approach to form. She works with handmade paper, felts her own wool dyed with plant-based pigments from local sources and food waste, and shapes wood as if tracing a living record of time. Through the attentive work of her hands and the conceptual depth of her practice, she builds a bridge between the worlds of sound and the visual — a meditation on harmony, impermanence, and the return to what is primordial and authentic.
