Monika Czarska
“Concept is of paramount importance to me. My work is characterized by a synthesis of ideas, symmetry, sparse color, minimalism, and geometry. When creating, I analyze the concept I want to convey. I break it down into its constituent parts and give it form. I transform the fragmented aspects of a given concept into symbols.”
Monika Czarska creates painted objects, installations, and site-specific works. A graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Arts and Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. She received the Mayor of Szczecin Award at the 25th Festival of Polish Contemporary Painting in 2016 for the paintings Yes, No, Maybe.

Dorothea Neumann
Dorothea Neumann was1950 born in Lüdinghausen / Westfalen. Studied art history and painting at the University Osnabrück.
The artist describes the idea behind her work in the following words:
“I am interested in the artistic process itself, which involves both coincidences and conscious decisions, as well as wrong turns and experiments. The finished work serves as a document of everything that occurred throughout the creative journey. I do not simply depict an idea of reality; rather, that reality is expressed through the objects themselves. Form, colour, and materials should communicate independently. I incorporate found objects, recycled materials, metal, glass, and discarded everyday items—relics from a past reality—into this process. Released from their original functions and meanings, I combine these elements with colours and other materials, resulting in something new that emerges.”

Patricia Pisani
“My main areas of work are site-specific and conceptual art projects in public spaces and art in architecture, installations with political and/or historical content, and art objects. The starting point for the development of my projects is an examination of the location, both its history and its current situation, as well as the architecture in its spatial, material, semantic, and atmospheric aspects. I use various techniques and materials to artistically represent a complex idea or recontextualise commercially available objects to create new meaning.”
