Born 1983, Cracow, Poland
Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain

Wiktoria Florek is a contemporary painter whose work is articulated through her proprietary Stratified Chromatic Field™ methodology — a constructed approach to chromatic abstraction rooted in classical discipline.

Her formal training at the Barcelona Academy of Art (2014) focused on long-pose drawing, anatomical structure and tonal architecture. This rigorous engagement with light, mass and compositional balance established a structural intelligence that continues to underpin her abstract practice.

Rather than departing from figuration, Florek internalized it. The logic of anatomy evolved into the logic of chromatic weight; chiaroscuro transformed into layered pigment stratification. Her canvases are constructed through successive applications of dense acrylic fields, graphite interruption and gestural inscription, creating surfaces that operate as both spatial environments and material objects.

Each work is built, not performed — balancing structural containment with controlled rupture. Color functions as volume; gesture as destabilization; negative space as calibrated pause.

Florek has exhibited internationally, including Koelner Liste (Cologne), Barcelona International Art Fair and presentations at the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM), Barcelona. Her work is held in private and corporate collections across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, and is currently placed in private and public spaces in thirteen countries.
