Katarzyna Zelaska has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and then moved to Paris where she studied and practised Computer Arts at the legendary University of Paris 8 Vincennes. At this time she participated in group exhibitions such as “Jeune Peinture, Jeune Expression” at the Grand Palais, Paris, and the XXIst-XXXIIIrd Salons de Montrouge. Nowadays Katarzyna Zelaska considers herself a transmedia artist. In her practice she combines digital media (video, film and animations) and traditional techniques (print, photography, painting). Her work has recently been the subject of many exhibitions such as “19th Pitch” at the Gallery Miejska Wroclaw 2008 , “Contamination” at the Gallery Studio Warsaw 2010, “The Landscape – reasons and contributions” at the Gallery XX1 Warsaw 2016 and “Ubik” at Gallery Propaganda Warsaw 2016. Her artworks are focused on visual memory, relative relation between the whole and the fragment and the narrative plane of what surrounds us with the questions it raises. The themes she develops touch the fluidity between real and illusory, the discontinuity of feeling, the relationship between the idea of something experienced and our memory. One could synthesize the concept of transmedia art for the artist in the following aphorism: “I’m telling, I would like to tell, and then here is the story”; it’s up to the spectators to chose which part of the history they should take. An artwork by Katarzyna Zelaska is today part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
