“ A Closer Look” invites you to step beyond the first impression and discover the subtle details that make an artwork truly special. From the texture of the brushstrokes to the nuances of colour and composition, these close-up views reveal the artist’s hand, process, and vision in a way that can only be appreciated up close.

Magdalena Morey

Magdalena Morey was born in 1974 in Lublin, Poland. She graduated from the C.K. Norwid Art College in Lublin, where she earned a diploma in artistic textiles. In 2000, she completed her studies at the Faculty of Arts at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, receiving her Masters degree in Paintingi.

After moving to Cambridge, England, in 2005, she began exhibiting her work in various art spaces. In 2008, she started a long-term collaboration with a gallery near Cambridge. A year later, she relocated to a town near Zurich, Switzerland, where she continued painting while raising her young children.

In 2015, together with her family, she fulfilled a long-held dream of living in Spain. After several years near Madrid, she settled in the picturesque region of Asturias, in the north of the country, where she continues to develop her artistic practice. She is currently represented by several international galleries and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world.

My work moves between figurative and landscape abstraction. I think of it as a response to something alive, to things that are always changing and never fixed. I don’t see the landscape as something to be copied, nor the figure as something to be simply described; both are experienced as events shaped by rhythm and movement, and coloured by our emotions.

I grew up close to nature and think of my painted and drawn lines as threads and fibres, veins and roots, feeding and defining the boundaries of colour, and together, they describe an inner life, memories and connections.

Each painting can be thought of almost like a conversation. As I work on a piece, whilst I usually have an overall concept that I’d like to express, the details and the manner in which that idea is expressed is often only discovered whilst I’m actually working on it.
