DOMINIKA WILTOS

Born in 1996.

A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Faculty of Architecture and Design.

In 2020, she obtained a Master of Arts degree, defending her diploma at the Public Space Design Studio under Professor Jan Sikora, PhD.

From 2018 to 2019, she was a member of the academic Painting Studio led by Professor Krzysztof Polkowski and Dr. Andrzej Karmasz.

Currently, she works within three painting series:

The central inspiration in her art is the human being.

Her works focus on exploring psychological phenomena, behaviors, and motives, uncovering deeper layers of human personality.

She is fascinated by the immense potential we hold within ourselves as humans — and by how little we truly know about who we are.

Her paintings reveal the inner dialogue we constantly engage in, while making us aware of the many undiscovered aspects of human nature.

We are often unaware of the mental patterns, fears, and blockages that shape our lives.

By uncovering these elements, we can break free from the schemes of our past decisions and consciously shape our own paths.

In the process of creation, she often works intuitively — seeking to express through imagery what is difficult to describe in words.

The core values that guide her art are emotion, freedom, and beauty, perceived through the richness of the human inner world.

The artist works with both acrylic and oil paints, sometimes combining the two within a single piece.

She often enriches her compositions with 24-carat gold, adding symbolic depth and a sense of light.

Her creative process involves a wide range of tools — brushes, palette knives, sponges, and even her hands.

She also diversifies the scale of her canvases, creating works ranging from 25×25 cm to large-format pieces measuring 140×200 cm.
