Eva Kujawska

Ewa Kujawska (*1956 in Wrocław, Poland) is a contemporary artist living and working in Ottawa, Canada. She studied painting, graphic design, and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and moved to Canada in 1986.

Her preferred media are acrylic and oil paints, as well as experimental mixed media on canvas and paper. Her work is characterized by dense application of paint and expressive gestures, combined with deliberate reduction and metaphorical imagery. Particularly striking is the inclusion of found objects from her surroundings—such as coins, wood, or stones—which she transforms into assemblages. This creates collages that transform random fragments of everyday life into symbolic "witnesses of the times."

Her signature style is characterized by bright colors like orange, deep blue, and monochrome surfaces that emphasize emotional moments and invite the viewer on an inner journey of discovery. Her works deliberately demand time and attention—they combine intuition and reason, imagination and clarity.

Ewa Kujawska is a member of CARFAC (Canadian Artists Representation) and exhibits her works internationally—in Canada, Germany, Poland, France, the USA, Morocco, and Greece. She has received several awards, including the Special Merit Award at the Grand Prix International de Montréal (1992) and First Prize at Sodarco (1993).
