Magdalena Sudnik

I come from a typical Polish family. Hard work, sound logic, and sausage. My earliest memories are of illustrating the Bible, where I drew everyone with really short arms. My mom pointed out this technical flaw, and without knowing it, launched my career as a “serious artist”.

My development as an artist has not been a straight path. A born explorer, I dove deep into the pool of the human experience, experimenting with my own life as art. This took me to the shores of India, the deserts of Arizona, the mountains of Appalachia, and the vast inner recesses of my psyche. It was here that I found material worthy of investigation.

Coming out of this period of introspection, my interest in the physical processes of painting and sculpture have resurfaced and re-integrated into my life. Today, as I continue to explore the world around and within me, I take notes on my findings in the form of paintings and sculptures. These notes are not answers to questions, nor do they explain any truth. They are investigations; gestures left as evidence that a curious mind is roaming among us.
