Anna Czarnota is a painter born in 2000. In 2025, she completed her integrated Master’s degree at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Zofia Weiss Gallery in Kraków, the Napiórkowska Gallery in Warsaw, and the Zbrojownia Gallery in Gdańsk, where she was one of the finalists of the Wojciech Fangor Student Painting Competition. There, she received an honorable mention from both the Mazovian Center for Contemporary Art “Elektrownia” and Krupa Gallery. In January 2025, she opened a solo exhibition at Elektrownia in Radom.
In her work, figures are often accompanied by additional elements such as heads or other external manifestations of what the portrayed individuals carry within. Heads, dogs, or transformations of the surrounding environment all serve the same purpose — to externally express, in a painterly way, emotions and internal states.
