Paulina Orzeł - Fear | Monotype and chalk on paper

Paulina Orzel is a director, painter, and graphic designer. She is a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Faculty of Stage Design. In 2023, she founded Teatr Mundi, where she creates original scripts, sets, costumes, and puppets. She hosts the music program "Pójdźmy w Retro" on Radio Kapitał. She is the author of a book on drawing instruction, published by Wydawnictwo RM.

Her artistic work is characterized by authenticity and emotionality. She analyzes the impact of childhood memories on the individual's overall life. She delves into her own experiences and traumas. She draws inspiration from the prose of Korean writer Han Kang, who explores the genocide in South Korea in the second half of the 20th century.

The artist materializes suffering and expands historical awareness. She uses zero-waste materials, creating her own paper from, among other things, used tea bags. She is sparse and minimalist in her means of expression.
