Gabriela Piwar- intermedia artist. A graduate of the Faculty of Media Art and the Faculty of Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Co-creator of Projekt Parsęta. In her work, she explores the relationships between humans and plants, as well as natural phenomena, through textile art, sculptural objects, and installations. She refers to the human being and their psyche as a part of ephemeral nature, rather than placing them in opposition. Her artistic practice often involves collecting, documenting, and transforming both ephemeral elements of nature from specific locations and the stories connected to them.
Her works have been exhibited, among others, during the 15th edition of the WARSAW UNDER CONSTRUCTION festival, at the "Pokoje 2022" young art exhibition in Prague, Czech Republic, and at the Polish Sculpture Center in Orońsko.
