Maryna Mazur

She is a graduate of the Institute of Visual Arts at the University of Zielona Góra and the University of the Arts Poznań, where she completed her diploma in the Intaglio Printing Studio under Professor Piotr Szurek. She defended her doctoral dissertation in 2018 at the Faculty of Graphics and Visual Communication at the University of the Arts Poznań. She is an Assistant Professor in the Third Graphics Studio at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts Poznań, as well as in the Graphics Studio – Intaglio and Relief Printing at the Institute of Visual Arts, University of Zielona Góra. She has participated in the Polish Graphics Triennale (2012, 2015, 2018), the International Print Triennial in Kraków (2013), and numerous solo and group exhibitions in Poland and abroad, including in Germany, Japan, Austria, China, Romania, Greece and the United States.

Her artistic practice encompasses graphics, painting, photography and object-based work. She is particularly interested in continually redefined relationships between the public and private spheres, especially the elusive ‘in-between’ — boundaries shaped by individual perception and experience. Her work engages with these issues while considering a range of diverse, often non-obvious contexts.
