Magdalena Sadziak is a visual artist who primarily focuses on abstract oil and acrylic painting. Her bold, bright acrylic works are notable for their saturated colors and compositional clarity. Her works explore the idea of space, movement and contrast.
Sadziak’s background in design is apparent in the compositional elegance of her work, balanced by the immediate, dynamic nature of the paint application. Through a combination of oils, acrylics, watercolor and gouache, Sadziak creates expressive abstract paintings that lie open for interpretation. The flowing shapes and overlapping forms in her works evoke distant landscapes, or even underwater scenes, yet never quite settle into recognizable shapes.
Her portfolio combines artistic exploration and spontaneous bursts of painting with a highly precise eye for composition and detail. When you enter Sadziak’s light-filled Hamburg studio, the physically expressive nature of her artistic process is plain to see: splashes of paint line the walls and vast new canvasses lie flat on the ground. She doesn’t plan a final image ahead of time: rather, she lets her intuition guide the painting process, channeling her energy and ideas onto the canvas – using brushes, sponges, and sometimes pouring the paint directly on to the canvas. Once this improvised and emotive process is complete, Sadziak carefully retouches the works where needed, balancing colors, softening textures and redrawing lines until the finished work emerges. The result is a series of abstract artworks that combine otherworldly forms and a precise aesthetic clarity with a deeply human touch.
VITA
Born in Warsaw in 1976, Magdalena Sadziak is a Polish painter and visual artist who primarily focuses on abstract oil and acrylic painting. After studying design at the HAW Hamburg school of applied sciences, Sadziak began exhibiting her paintings in group and solo exhibitions across Europe, including the acclaimed “Glitzer Staub und Rauschen”, a joint exhibition with conceptual sound artist Gregory Büttner.
Together with the Kathrin Wolf, Sadziak is also a co-curator of the acclaimed ongoing artistic project “Scherenschnitte” (a play on words, from the German word for both paper cutting and silhouettes), which collates and exhibits contemporary paper cut-out art from international artists. She lives and works in Hamburg.
