Hanna Ilczyszyn is a Polish-Belgian artist based between Ghent and Brussels. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and at KASK in Ghent, she develops a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, watercolor and ceramics.
Her works inhabit a suspended space between memory and imagination, where figures, plants, animals and landscapes appear both familiar and dreamlike. Marked by the experience of living abroad for many years, her practice often evokes a quiet sense of nostalgia, balancing intimacy, strangeness and emotional ambiguity.
Working through an intuitive and highly responsive process, Hanna Ilczyszyn embraces unpredictability, imperfections and spontaneous gestures as active parts of the work itself. Whether on paper, canvas or ceramic surfaces she creates, her works retain traces of movement, hesitation and transformation, giving each piece a vivid and fragile presence.
A recurring atmosphere runs through her practice: the suspended stillness of dusk, just before night arrives. Between softness and tension, humour and melancholy, her works create poetic inner worlds where vibrant colours, fragmented figures and shifting forms coexist in delicate balance.
