NATALIA KLIMZA EXPLORING THE ESSENCE OF BEING

Polish photographer and visual artist Natalia Klimza immerses us in her abstract, surrealist and impressionist universe, where multicolored, multiform human energy shines forth.

Natalia Klimza is one of the young emerging talents in contemporary art and fashion photography. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Poland, with a master's degree in interior architecture, she found her true calling behind the lens, after a stint in modeling and fashion design. Since then, her portfolio has brought out the raw, natural beauty of body shapes. The young virtuoso extracts herself from convention, eliminating social constructs to better reveal the human essence.

In her creative language, she interweaves abstraction, surrealism and impressionism, while expressing her own emotions and experiences in a play of colors, lines, geometric shapes and artistic blurs. His editorial work has not failed to attract attention and has been published in magazines such as L'Officiel Baltic, Schön! and Aesthetica. His two most recent series are particularly highlighted here for their vibrant, colorful, luminous and painterly sensibility.
" Watching the documentary Exhibitions on the Big Screen: Klimt and The Kiss, a speaker explained how the artist constructed different planes with various shapes and structures around a realistic human figure. It reminded me of my own state of mind. I think I'm also looking for painting principles in my work ," she confides.

BODY IN SUBSTANCE

Landscape and still life are just as much a part of her visual reflections. For Contributor, she creates a dialogue between the fluidity of living organisms and the colorless, transparent and odorless liquid that forms seas, lakes, rivers and rain. Her Planetary systems project, conceived with fruit and vegetables, seems to come straight out of a Joan Miró work.
For K Mag, she offers yet another view by examining the final episode of the first season of Euphoria. Her artistic interpretation of the HBO show probes the lives and tumultuous emotions of teenagers. In particular, the euphoric feelings of Zendaya's character, which she chooses to distort in a positive coloring.


In 2023, Natalia Klimza published her first photographic work, Behind an Impression (Éd. Snap Collective Publishing). In over 140 pages, she demonstrates the breadth of her eclectic approach. She explores the extraction of shapes and colors, the human essence in its interiority, its emotions, its smell, and the sensual energy that shapes a woman's identity through body expression and gesture.
