Born in 1990.
2010-2015 studied at the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków.
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.
