Background Information about Magdalena Morey

Introduction

Haunting and incredibly close, vast and vivid landscapes with a fixed horizon emerge from Polish painter Magdalena Morey’s colour-intensive abstractions, most of them depicted from a high vantage point on the boundary between sea and land. The name of the region in which the artist has lived for some time sounds like an aesthetic manifesto for her abstract-figurative images: Asturias, Costa Verde.

As a mixed media artist, Morey explores various materials and techniques in order to express her inner emotional landscape. Always driven by the desire to more deeply explore the psychological and spiritual dimensions of human nature and perception, she incorporates local cultural and geographic characteristics into her painting. The local ecosystem is constantly pushing the boundaries of her own perception and creativity so that, in her images, external stimulus and internal expression encounter one another like two individual beings.

When we look at Morey’s art, we immediately feel this energetic interaction of internal and external forces, which last but not least can be identified in the delicate boundaries of the visual vocabulary as it moves between abstraction and figuration. The hidden traces and pathways of a green and vital vegetative landscape, the cool blue of the Atlantic, the mysterious depths beneath the expansive surface of the sea – all this and even the ominous distant horizon reveal the artist’s rich and emotionally deep exploration of the subjects of landscape, culture and aesthetic abstraction.
