“Reeds” by Monika Stolarska, created in 2025, is a work on paper combining ink and collage. The 38 x 28 cm composition depicts a stylised waterside plant motif. Against a background of blurred, grey ink washes, the artist juxtaposes geometric and organic shapes cut from paper in contrasting white and dark patterns, creating a rhythmic, layered structure. The work combines decorative qualities with a minimalist discipline of form. The artwork is framed and glazed, and signed by the artist.

MONIKA STOLARSKA
Born in 1986 in Warsaw, where she currently lives and works. Between 2005 and 2011, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She earned her Master’s degree with a dean's distinction from the Faculty of Painting in the studio of Prof. Wiesław Szamborski, with an additional specialization in the Studio of Art in Public Space under Prof. Mirosław Duchowski.
Since completing her studies, she has combined her own artistic practice with teaching. A key point of reference for her is nature – its rhythm and the way it affects human beings. On the other hand, she draws inspiration from neoplasticism and suprematism, which she considers an ever-relevant source of artistic inquiry.
In her work, she combines biomorphism and organic forms with the mysticism of non-objective painting, building her own unique language of visual expression.
