The Stories Unfold

Magdalena Morey

Magdalena's figurative abstraction's are based on memories and sensations which has always been a medium through which she can find a profound connection to her emotions. Magdalena remembers people as energies and translates those into colours, as described by the artist;  

“Whilst we see each other as individuals, we all experience similar things; loneliness and happiness, creativity and stagnation are all sensations felt by most of humanity, so I'm fascinated in the use of colour to communicate and share these feelings that are triggered by events. There's a deep satisfaction in creating art - it's a cross-section of what's going on in my mind. I don't think of individual figurative paintings as things that are "complete", they're more like snapshots of a continual, dynamic evolution of the self; some bits are highly detailed and focussed whilst others are blurred, some details are further away, some things are highlighted like flashes of inspired awareness, other aspects are ambiguous or ignored completely”.

A truly international artist, Magdalena Morey was born and trained in Lublin, Poland and after many years of living in both the UK and Switzerland, she now lives and works in rural Spain. With a keen love of colour and texture, Magdalena pours excitement, anticipation and even the occasional tinge of loneliness into her abstract expressionist paintings, reflecting the emotional ups and downs that accompany a life of traveling. Using a variety of different media, including pastels, watercolours, gold leaf and acrylics, Magdalena creates landscapes and figurative artworks that are beautifully eloquent and exploding with life.
