Agata di Masternak is a contemporary Polish multimedia artist who lives and works in London. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in Prof. Krzysztof Wachowiak's Painting Studio (2010), Prof. Dorota Grynczel's Artistic Textile Studio and Prof. Adam Myjak's Sculpture Studio. She then honed her artistic skills at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins College.

The artist works in painting, sculpture, animation and installation. She has exhibited mainly in Poland and the United Kingdom. Her persona and work have been the subject of press articles. She is also the protagonist of the documentary film Agata's Faces directed by Małgorzata Kozera, which was awarded the Golden Hobby-Horse for the best documentary film over 30 minutes in the Polish Competition of the Krakow Film Festival (2023).

The artist, who has been struggling with a terminal illness for 26 years, draws inspiration from her own experiences. She translates her experiences into the language of art, combining them with universal questions about identity and love, about the boundaries between life and death.
Through extremely intimate works, she invites the audience on a journey into the depths of the human psyche. Inspired by her experiences of a long-term health battle, she has created a unique artistic language in which pain, hope and transformation are intertwined in a harmonious whole.

Agata di Masternak has experimented with many techniques - she painted on canvas for 14 years, then worked on paper, created sculptures and embroideries. Each material has a symbolic meaning for her. Agata's techniques include painting with silk paints, dry pastels and oil pastels, as well as multi-dimensional embroidery, which allows her to create works of rich texture and layered depth. Her works combine subtlety and intensity, ephemerality and permanence, and the intermingling of multi-dimensional realities. Her unique combination of diverse techniques and materials and her subtle handling of light give her works extraordinary depth and expression

Silk, which symbolises delicacy and durability, plays a key role in the exhibition presented at Galeria Test. Its transparency allows for a subtle play of light and colour, while the luminous frames give the paintings an almost sacred character. The exhibition Homecoming / Homecoming invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of emotions, memories and reflections. The artist's works, although rooted in her experiences, speak a universal language. It is art that transcends the boundaries of visual perception and also engages sensitivity and introspection. The exhibition encourages the viewer to delve into the artist's world - and thus into their own. It invites them to stop, look within themselves and find fragments of their own history in Agata's works.
