Landscapes of Memory
Title: Landscape A 12Artist: Michał WoźniakYear: 2021Dimensions: 115 (40, 75) x 120 cmMedium: Canvas, mixed media Landscapes of Memory Landscapes of Memory is an evolving series by Michał Woźniak, initiated in 2019. These works, often polyptychs, combine multiple canvases into cohesive compositions where colors, textures, and forms merge to evoke both personal and collective memories. The layers within each artwork represent not just a final image but also partially concealed past compositions, reflecting the complex nature of memory. Each element recalls fragments of the past while connecting them to the present, inviting viewers to find their place within the broader landscape of history. The series has been showcased in notable solo exhibitions, including the Grand Prix of Polish Choral Music in 2022 at Aula Nova in Poznań, and the Landscapes of Memory II exhibition at Galeria KRĄG in 2023. These exhibitions highlighted the depth and evolving nature of the series, drawing connections between art, memory, and human experience. This series continues to grow with new editions and exhibitions, offering fresh insights and deepening the narrative of memory and time. Note: The series will be expanded with additional editions and exhibitions.

From Within the Forest
Title: RaceArtist: Michał WoźniakDimensions: 100 x 80 cmMedium: Canvas, mixed mediaYear: 2018 From Within the Forest From Within the Forest is a series by Michał Woźniak that explores the transformative experience of immersing oneself in the natural world. By shifting the observer’s perspective, Woźniak captures the forest not just as a physical space but as a lens through which reality is both examined and obscured. The forest becomes a mask—an abstract rhythm that disrupts conventional views, allowing for a more universal and less rational perception. This shift in observation creates a narrative that transcends the immediate, inviting viewers to explore the unseen and often overlooked dimensions of nature. The series was first exhibited at the Faculty of Forestry, Poznań University of Life Sciences, at Collegium Cieszkowskich in November 2018, highlighting Woźniak’s innovative approach to interpreting natural landscapes.

Notes IX 15
Title: Notes IX.15 CArtist: Michał WoźniakYear: 2015Dimensions: 100 x 80 cmMedium: Canvas, mixed media Notes.IX.15 Notes.15.IX is a distinctive series created by Michał Woźniak in September 2015, serving as a visual diary that captures reality through the unique lens of the artist. Each piece in the series is an abstract reflection of the fleeting moments and emotions experienced during that time, transformed into expressive compositions on canvas. The series was first showcased at the LIVEMOTION Festival at Galeria OKO/UCHO in Poznań, marking its debut as a powerful statement on the intersection of personal narrative and artistic expression. With each artwork in the series, Woźniak invites the viewer to enter a world where memory, perception, and reality converge, offering a deeply personal yet universally resonant experience. This type of project, where art serves as a personal record of time and impressions, frequently appears in Michał Woźniak’s work. The Notes series embodies this concept by transforming fleeting moments and emotions into visual form, capturing the artist’s inner dialogue with the world. These artistic notes are not just reflections but immersive experiences, where everyday observations are reinterpreted through color, texture, and abstract composition. This approach allows Woźniak to continually explore the relationship between memory and creativity, making each series a unique snapshot of his evolving artistic journey.
