Ewa Juszkiewicz

Ewa Juszkiewicz (b. 1984, Gdańsk, Poland) is a contemporary painter best known for her striking re-interpretations of historical portraiture. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she replaces the faces of women in classical paintings with elaborate masks of flowers, fabrics, or surreal forms, challenging traditional representations of femininity and identity. Her work engages directly with art history while reframing it through a feminist lens, creating images that are at once familiar and unsettling.

Juszkiewicz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and lives and works in Warsaw. She is represented by Gagosian and Almine Rech, and her paintings have been featured in major exhibitions worldwide, including The Impermanent at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. In 2026, she will have a solo exhibition at Madrid’s Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, further cementing her position within the institutional canon. Her works are held in significant private and public collections, and she has emerged as one of the most closely watched European painters of her generation.
