Latest Exhibition 2023 – ”Topos Embodied: Beauty constructs and Female Landscape”. Two women show at the Museum of Classical Archeology, Cambridge University, UK. Collaborative project with Cat Vitebsky Sculpture @catvitebskysculpture @paros_creatives
Co-founder of @paros_creatives 🇬🇷🇬🇧
Justyna Borucka was born in Warsaw, Poland. She spent her early years in Milan, Italy, and from 2001 to 2010 she lived, worked and created art in London, UK. She graduated with a BA (Honors) in 2009 from Chelsea College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London. Since 2004, the artist participated in various group and solo exhibitions, with her art being featured in London, Tokyo and Gallery 39-K in Lahore, Pakistan. During this time in her life, Justyna’s art focused on an experimental approach to painting infused by her interest in land art, material manipulation and object making. Justyna later moved her studio to the Greek islands (Skyros, Andros, and Mykonos) where she focused on developing her art practice. Since 2018, Justyna has resided permanently in Paros with her family.
Borucka’s intuitive insights combined with a methodological approach resulted in a series of abstract, mixed-media works.“Metamorphosis Bones and Colours”, “Iridescences “and “Paros New Earth ” are all informed by and dedicated to the Greek landscape, τόπος.
In Athens, she exhibited her works in both group and solo exhibitions, including the personal exhibition “Znaki Signs Σήματα” at the Katakouzenos Foundation, Amalia 4, Syntagma (2016) and “In Blue” at Malou Art Consulting (2015).
Borucka is a co-founder of the art collective, Paros Creatives, formed in 2020. Currently, she is collaborating with the British sculptor Cat Vitebsky to compile a significant body of work for their two-women show at the Museum of Classical Archeology in Cambridge (part of Cambridge University) in July of 2023. This female-led, collaborative interdisciplinary project, Topos Embodied, Beauty Constructs and the Female Landscape, explores the themes of the ancient Parian marble, the quarry, and its surrounding landscapes through a lens of the construction of beauty, motherhood and womanhood, merging art and science.
In 2021, Borucka became a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts Greece. Since then, she also supports the Ronald McDonald Foundation in Poland by donating her paintings to charitable auctions and helping to raise funds for housing the families of long-term hospitalised children who are patients at the Children’s Clinical Hospital, UCK WUM in Warsaw. Borucka’s works of art can be found in private collections in Greece, France, Poland and the United Kingdom.
