Kalina Horon

about the artist

Kalina Horon (b. 1992) is a painter from Poland, since 2014 living and working in Vienna. In her current painting practice, she discovers the possibilities of an abstract visual language, based on free improvisation. Deriving from her knowledge about rules of composition and theory of colour combination, she creates paintings in which all forms correspond with each other, infect each other, to build a final, perfectly balanced structure and aesthetically influence the viewer. She sees her works as a visualisation of tensions that are occurring in the world and in society. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (MFA in Painting) in 2016 and studied in Vienna over the period 2014-2016 under the artistic direction of Daniel Richter and Brigitte Kowanz.
