Artist

Emilia Durka

Emilia Durka is a visual artist and landscape architect based in Warsaw. She combines elements of memory and careful observation to capture fleeting impressions of ephemeral landscapes, created in her own painterly style.

Exploring place and memory, her artwork becomes a metaphor for human nature, with the landscape serving as a reflection of her emotional and lived existence - unfolding experientially rather than representing a fixed place. Her background in landscape architecture influences how she reads a place, allowing her to understand both the beauty and the fractures within the landscape.
Having studied in Poland, Spain and America, her artwork is informed by her nomadic lifestyle and constant need to immerse herself in nature. Emilia’s breadth of formal training includes Landscape Architecture, specialising in Historical Gardens, Urban Space Studies and Fashion. In 2024, she received a scholarship to attend The Art Students League of New York, where under the mentorship of Bruce Dorfman, she created the collection Landscapes of Solastalgia, which were later presented in two solo exhibitions in New York. In 2025, Emilia also opened a solo exhibition, Gloria Victis, at the Polish History Museum in Warsaw.

"These landscapes function as self-portraits - carrying nostalgia, curiosity, and the quiet tension of being in-between. They do not offer postcard beauty; instead, they reveal a subtle beauty to those who look closely. Delicate yet resilient, intimate yet vast, naïve and wise at once, they hold a sense of wonder for the small miracles of life: a glance, a breath, a memory of the earth."
