Agnieszka Kuntzmann

I’m an artist of Polish origin, living and working in Switzerland. My Art studio practice is expressed by the process of metamorphosis and concept of circulation, believing that we are born and die many times, while simultaneously experiencing this life. I see every Self as a vehicle to another form. Metamorphosis as an autonomous and absolute act of infinite movement. I search for this metamorphosis and leave evidence of it in the body of the painting, until it shifts to a newform. My work has no narrative or descriptive intentions. I work exclusively from imagination, instinctively led by shapes that are formed and textured on the canvas spontaneously. In my practice I often include materials that are subject of transformation, for example the chemical properties of salt, volcanic ash, graphite and or minerals.

My studio is located in Bärschwil, a remote valley in the Jura mountains, near Basel, Switzerland. I hold Bachelors and Master of Arts in Philosophy and Communication. In 2020 I transitioned my career to a full-time art practice, from a previous career in corporate communication. This transition, and the consequences of it, have also had a significant impact, and been a recurring theme on my artwork.
