Born in 1990.

Working primarily in painting and photography. 

Lives and works in Kraków.

 

Emilia Kina’s paintings com­bine erudition and aesthetic appeal. Their sources are in lie in the theory of pain­ting and depiction, but the essence lies in the relations between painting/image and painting/object. Kina’s paintings call to mind screens, curtains and blinds, which like a room divider con­ceal the view. The figure of the painting as an open window is treated here literally as a material frame, more an element of stage design than a frame from reality.
