I create atmospheric paintings rooted in landscape, memory, and quiet presence.
My work explores silence, weather, and fragile moments between the human, the animal,
and the natural world.
My paintings are not traditional landscapes. They are landscapes of memory – places that once existed in fullness and are now slowly fading or have already disappeared. Since 2025 I have been working on the series “Changing Memories”. I paint seas that no longer remember stillness, meadows covered in the ash of peat fires, solitary herons in thick fog, frozen rivers without flow, heavy clouds that no longer bring renewal. I do not document catastrophe. I do not paint apocalypse. I paint what is still visible – before it becomes only a memory. I paint beauty that hurts because we know it is the last. Each canvas is an attempt to hold a moment when nature still remembers who it was – before it became an echo. It is an intimate record of loss, but also a quiet plea that someone else might look and remember. If you would like to have one of these paintings with you – write to me. If you are a curator or gallery thinking about collaboration – write to me as well. Kuba Turczyński 2026
EHIBITION
I was born and raised in Poland, in an environment shaped by strong family traditions, closeness to nature, and respect for manual work. From an early age, I was surrounded by stories, landscapes, and quiet rituals that emphasized observation, patience, and attention to detail. These values continue to influence both my life and my artistic practice.
Painting became a natural way for me to process experiences, emotions, and memories. Rather than treating art as illustration, I use it as a form of reflection and inner dialogue. My work grows from a need to slow down, to observe what is often overlooked, and to translate intangible states — silence, tension, fragility — into visual form.
Nature plays a central role in my painting, not as a literal subject but as an emotional landscape shaped by memory and intuition. I am drawn to transitional moments: changing weather, fading light, and spaces on the edge of presence and absence. Through painting, I explore my own relationship with place, belonging, and time.
For me, painting is both a continuation of family traditions rooted in attentiveness and craft, and a personal path toward understanding myself and the world around me.
