POL ART NI Exhibition

This comprehensive and very personal exhibition, will take visitors on the path that brought the three Polish artists to love Northern Ireland.


We are delighted to welcome to The Crescent Gallery Polish artists Magdalena Miler, Natalia Majka and Ilona Kazimierska Maja as they present Pol Art NI.


This comprehensive and very personal exhibition, will take visitors on the path that brought the three Polish artists to love Northern Ireland. The work on display shows an extraordinary range of techniques and styles, ranging from traditional oil and acrylic techniques to pastel and gel pens, from bright landscapes to nostalgic portraits and eerie abstract shapes.


The exhibition is supported by Karolina Shop and the Association of Polish Artists in Northern Ireland (APANI) and is open daily from 9am - 8pm and runs from 30 October until 4 November.


APANI aims to promote Polish artists living in Northern Ireland and this exhibition is the first in a series of shows. For POL ART, they have selected three very different artists, who have been brought together by their interest for sensitivity and the experience of life. Whilst at the same time experimenting art through the filter of very different personalities and styles.


About the Artists

Magdalena Miler, born in 1968 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, is a Member of the Board and Chairman of the Association of Polish Artists NI. Professional photographer and retoucher, she’s also interested in design and decoration. She’s been specializing in the dotting technique (stippling) for over 30 years, adapting gel and ink pen to her abstract creations.


Ilona Kazimierska Maja, born in Bedzin, Poland, is a Member of the Board and Vice Chairman of the Association of Polish Artists NI. She started painting after moving to Northern Ireland, inspired by the country’s breath-taking landscapes. Her work is about fleeting moments,about the beauty of nature and its connection with the artist’s memories, about finding herself and her place in the world through the pastel, watercolour and oil technique.


Natalia Majka, born in 1995 in Bedzin, Poland, studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. Winner of the competition “On the walls lived hope”, Natalia likes to experiment all forms of arts, from murals and graphics, to films and scenographies. She uses oil and acrylic painting to express her emotional self-research by focusing on her intuition and impulses in order to portrait people and places of her daily life.
