Short Biography

Maciej Jędrzejewski (b. 1993, Chelmza, Poland) is a London-based visual artist and curator whose practice spans painting, abstraction, surrealism and contemporary curatorial projects. He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Graphic and Digital Design from the University of Greenwich in 2015 and has since developed a distinct artistic voice rooted in subconscious exploration, spiritual reflection and visual storytelling.

Jędrzejewski’s earliest memory of creating art dates back to childhood, when he once drew on his bedroom wall during a sleepless night. Early visits to his local cathedral in Chelmza also left an enduring impression; he was drawn not to scripture but to the expressive narratives of sacred paintings. At age 11 he moved with his family to Peckham, England, where exposure to African and Hip-Hop culture enriched his creative perspective by blending spirituality with urban expression.

Throughout his career, Jędrzejewski has used art as a visual diary, producing work that emerges through a semi-automated process guided by intuition and subconscious impulses. His practice aligns with Neo-Surrealism and often explores how light, colour and form generate mystical and transcendental experiences. Greatly influenced by Buddhist philosophy and lucid dreaming, he seeks to create work that evokes a sense of both escape and arrival.

An active member of the Association of Polish Artists in Great Britain (APA) since 2017, Jędrzejewski also contributes weekly satirical drawings to Tydzien Polski. In 2025 he stepped into a leadership role within the London art scene as Deputy Gallery Manager and curator at POSK Gallery, where he has curated and co-curated major exhibitions including the APA Winter Exhibition 2025, showcasing contemporary Polish art at the Polish Social and Cultural Association.

Artist Statement

Art should do more than decorate walls; it should evoke profound emotion and reflection. The medium—whether paint, ink, digital media or installation—is secondary to its capacity to stir the viewer’s inner world. Meaningful art resonates with the intensity of life’s most pivotal moments: the awe of first experiences, the depth of love and loss, and the quiet wonder of existential revelation.

When encountering a new work, the viewer should feel transported—drawn into memories, childhood impressions, buried sensations and the unspoken rhythm of life itself. Art need not mimic everyday appearances; instead, it should mirror the human condition and offer access to emotional and spiritual depths that lie beyond conscious thought.
