Agata Słowian
Agata Słowian – An Artist Who Unleashes Sensuality Through Sand and Concrete Agata Słowian is an artist whose work surprises with the combination of raw materials, such as sand and concrete, with the delicacy of structural art. In her work, she combines the power of nature and architectural austerity, creating works that engage not only sight, but also touch – works that go beyond the classical boundaries of painting, becoming a truly sensual experience. Inspired by the structures of nature and the power of the earth, Agata uses sand as a symbol of nature in its purest, untamed form. Paintings made of sand have something primal about them – coming into contact with them, the viewer almost feels like the natural world is right next to them. Sand, pouring through the fingers, becomes part of the creative process, in which every detail of the image is the result of attention to structure, texture and form, which the artist carefully carves out in space. In addition to sand, Agata Słowian often uses concrete, which gives her works austerity and durability. Concrete, seemingly cold and hard, in her hands becomes a carrier of delicate, sensual shapes that play with space and light. Her structural paintings show a fascination with form, which not only has depth, but also a tangible texture – each surface is like an invitation to interaction. The warmth of the hand, the delicate touch, influences how we perceive her works, giving them vitality and sensitivity that are not visible at first glance. Agata Słowian’s concrete structures do not only have form – they become part of the space they fill. Their austerity, on the one hand dominated by the mechanical properties of the material, and on the other – by the subtlety of the developed shapes, allows us to fully experience the grace that lies in this heavy matter. These paintings change depending on the lighting and touch, just as the perception of sand structures changes, which are as fleeting as they are durable. Agata Słowian’s work is a dialogue between nature and man, which is not limited to visual reception, but opens up space for deeper, sensual engagement. In her works, the artist combines severity with subtlety, concrete hardness with sandy lightness – creating reliefs that are intended to be touched, explored and contemplated. Each painting by Agata Słowian is more than just an artistic work – it is a tactile story that becomes part of the space into which she introduces the viewer. The artist not only creates a structure, but builds a relationship between the work and the viewer, offering them an experience that is both physical and spiritual. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
