Professional Biography

Magdalena Zawadzka studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. After completing her studies she moved to Warsaw, where she concentrated on painting decorative textiles. Her next stop was Rome, where she joined the group of artists Cento Pittori a via Margutta. While in Rome she developed a “naïve” style of painting, a style that she adopted as her own in depicting her favorite subjects – nature scenes featuring animals, birds and occasionally people. Her next and last stop in Italy was Genoa.
In 1975 she moved to Sao Paolo, Brazil where her painting style evolved to reflect the exotic nature of Brazilian landscapes. In 1997 she moved to New York City and she has applied her unique style to colorful portrayals of the city. She continues to paint, exhibit and participate in the life of the Polish artistic community.
Magdalena Zawadzka has exhibited her paintings in numerous solo and group exhibitions in: USA, Brazil, Italy, Poland, France, Canada, Denmark and Japan. Her paintings are included in the collections of Tokyo Museum of Ecology, the Museo de Sol of Rio de Janeiro and in private collections in Europe, South America and North America.
