Warsaw, Poland
Painter and visual artist working between canvas and motion — building toward an immersive exhibition where painting and animation meet.
About the Artist
Polina Vasilovskaya (b. 1997) is a contemporary artist based in Warsaw, Poland. Born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, she moved to Poland at eighteen and graduated from the Polish National Film School (PWSFTiT) in Łódź with a degree in Animation Film Directing. She went on to work as a video artist for international theatre productions before returning to painting as her primary language.
Her paintings explore the limits of perception — extreme close-ups, optical illusions, and the brief moments when reality seems to shift. Rather than depicting objects, she is interested in the feeling that appears just before the mind gives a name to what it sees.
"If a work can touch someone's soul, even for a moment, and remind them that they have one, it has already fulfilled its purpose."
Layering is central to her process — while painting, she loses all sense of time, letting each layer guide the next. She has presented two solo exhibitions in Warsaw, where she lives and works today.
Animation & Stage Work
Alongside painting, Polina works as a video artist and animator, trained in Animation Film Directing at the Polish National Film School (PWSFTiT) in Łódź. She has created video art and projection design for international theatre productions, bringing the same interest in perception, layering and movement to the stage.
