Agata Szwajcowska – an abstract artist, she graduated with distinction from Fashion Textiles: Print at the London College of Fashion (University of the Arts London). She creates intuitive, emotional compositions where form emerges from internal movement, bodily sensations, and sensory experience. Her paintings are created through a process of deep immersion in color, gesture, and emotional states – they record flow, tension, and transformation. Central to her practice is the relationship with her own body, femininity, and the experience of change. She has exhibited her works in Spain and Łódź. She will soon present a new series in Spain as part of the "Traces of Fleeting" exhibition – an intimate project exploring themes of transience and transformation through the dialogue between photography and abstract painting. She will also participate in an exhibition at the Museum of Pharmacy in Łódź and in a project dedicated to female abstraction. Since 2025, she has been a member of the LAAF Association, which co-creates the Lodz Abstract Art Festival, where she is involved in programming and curatorial activities.

Tomek Haładaj (born in Łódź, 1996) is an artist, a graduate of painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, where he graduated with honors in 2021. In his art, he primarily focuses on painting, collage, and sculpture. The artist values craftsmanship and workshop practice, which is why he creates all components of his finished works himself. Haładaj experiments with technologies and materials in an inventive spirit, thereby diversifying the expression of his artistic language. He uses found or gifted objects, which he reworks into new qualities and contexts. In his art, the artist refers to the observations of Dadaism and Art Brut, aiming to create unconstrained, bold, and honest art that reflects his own insights. Haładaj has presented his works at solo and group exhibitions, including at Cricoteka in Krakow, Rondo Sztuki in Katowice, Spectra Art Space in Warsaw, the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko, the Centre for Artistic Activities in Piotrków Trybunalski, and Hilary Majewski's Tenement House in Łódź.

Mimicking natural cycles, she uses a closed loop of materials, transforming one installation into the next. She often performs repetitive gestures while creating and assembling her works, as a meditation on the timescales of natural processes. For her, direct experience is paramount, offering the possibility of evoking personal memories. Her works have been presented in numerous solo exhibitions (including Zachęta Project Space, Gdańsk City Gallery, Temporary Parapet in Bratislava, Industra Art Brno) and group exhibitions (including the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Museum of Art in Łódź, Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź, MOCA Hiroshima, Kode Bergen).

Her works are held in the collections of the Museum of Art in Łódź.
