Artistic approach

Maja Borowicz works primarily in oil painting. Although her art is often associated with surrealism or magical realism, she describes it as Emotional Realism.
Her paintings explore human vulnerability, relationships and the struggle to preserve hope in a world of constant change and chaos. Human figures inhabit ruined landscapes, fractured structures and technological environments, where the body becomes a symbol of both strength and fragility.
Recurring themes include loneliness, motherhood, protection and the bonds of trust and devotion that help people survive difficult experiences.
Drawing on her personal experience of physical and psychological limits, she seeks to portray what is most fragile and authentic in human nature.
Through meticulously composed, highly detailed and symbolic imagery, she explores the space between destruction and renewal, inviting reflection on resilience, human connection and the search for meaning.
