Zofia Palucha (b. 1993, Czestochowa) is a contemporary paintress based in Wroclaw, Poland. Her work cuts through politic and intimacy, mapping how power creeps into sex, selfhood, and the body. Shifting images echo a world in constant flux—where nothing is stable, especially autonomy.

About the artist
Zofia Palucha earned a PhD in Fine Arts in 2024. She lives and works in Wroclaw.
Palucha’s recent work explores the intersection of personal experience and political critique through a distinctly digital lens. Drawing from the fragmented visuals of the internet, she blends everyday interactions with the virtual world. Working primarily on her smartphone, she reworks amateur photos, accidental snapshots, and cinematic stills using mobile apps, recontextualising fleeting, often overlooked images to examine the commodification and ephemerality of contemporary life.
Her practice engages with pressing political issues, particularly as they shape intimate spheres of sensuality and sexuality. The ever-shifting nature of her imagery reflects the instability of a world where the personal and political are inextricably linked. Through these multilayered compositions, Palucha offers a sharp, nuanced meditation on the fragility of individual agency within the volatile landscapes of global and digital existence.
