Ewelina Małysa

Graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in 2002, completing her degree in the Studios of Copperplate Engraving and Lithography. In 2013, she earned a Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the same institution with a doctoral dissertation titled Obraz–Znak (Image–Sign). Since 2009, she has served as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Art and Design at the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków (formerly the Institute of Graphic Arts and Design of the Pedagogical University of Kraków), where she teaches drawing and digital graphics.

She has received numerous prestigious grants, including the Creative Scholarship from the City of Kraków (2004) and the Scholarship from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage (2005). She is also a laureate of many prominent awards, including the Grand Prix in the "Print of the Year" competition (Kraków, 2003 and 2005), the Lucjan Mianowski Award at the "Grand Prix of Young Polish Graphic Art" as part of the International Print Triennial (Kraków, 2009), and the Prof. Halina Chrostowska Award at the Polish Print Triennial (Katowice, 2006 and 2012).

Małysa has held several solo exhibitions—including Epistemia at the Jan Fejkiel Gallery in 2017—and has participated in over 30 group exhibitions both in Poland and abroad (including Sweden, Spain, Germany, Iceland, and the United States).

Her artistic practice focuses on traditional printmaking, primarily lithography, screen printing, and mixed techniques. She also works with digital media, including digital matrix printing, and creates artists' books. Her series of works—such as Moduły (Modules), Supremacje (Supremacies), Selekcje (Selections), and Zbiory (Sets)—define a unique style deeply rooted in the culture of the sign and mass communication.
