Astrocytes VIII (2023) Painting by Natalia Bienek

Natalia Bienek is a contemporary Polish painter. Her art is influenced by bio-art, neurobiology, and the captivating aesthetics of laboratory images depicting neurons. The intricate forms of nerve cells became a central motif as her fascination with neurobiology grew for personal reasons. Initially drawing inspiration from eminent neurobiologists Santiago Cajal and Camillo Golgi, she extracted their ideas to fuel her creative process. Transferring the delicate and intricate neural networks onto gilded canvases, she captures the beauty and potential of the human mind. Her work harmonizes science, art, and decorative elements.

Engaging in art and painting with rhythmic brushstrokes, the artist embarks on a spiritual quest, using this creative expression as an alternative to religion, which often marginalizes women. Immersed in meditative concentration, she forges new connections between body, mind, and soul. Over time, she has honed her distinctive technique, continually refining it. Natalia Bienek's creations now grace numerous private collections worldwide.
