bio

Justyna Borucka is a Polish-born mixed-media artist whose practice investigates material transformation, geological process and the relationship between landscape and abstraction.

She spent her early childhood in Milan, Italy, later living and working in London (2001–2010), where she graduated with a BA (Honours) from Chelsea College of Art & Design, University of the Arts London (2009). Since 2010, her studio practice has been rooted in the Greek islands, and she has resided permanently on Paros since 2018.

Borucka’s work has evolved through distinct yet interconnected bodies of research, from early experimental painting and object-based investigations to marble-dust compositions and recent explorations of matter, deep time and geological continuity. Series including Metamorphosis: Bones and Colours, Iridescences, Paros New Earth and The Atomic Series are informed by the Greek landscape, τόπος, understood as both physical terrain and embodied experience.

In 2019, Borucka co-founded PAROS Creatives, a female-led interdisciplinary initiative connecting artistic practice with geological, ecological and cultural research. This framework culminated in the two-women exhibition Topos Embodied: Beauty Constructs and the Female Landscape at the Museum of Classical Archaeology, University of Cambridge (2023), developed in collaboration with sculptor Cat Vitebsky.

Borucka is a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts Greece.

Her works are held in private collections in Greece, France, Poland and the United Kingdom.

Art & Charity

Alongside her artistic practice, Borucka supports the Ronald McDonald Foundation in Poland through the donation of art works to charitable auctions. To date, her contributions have helped substantially to raise funds to support housing for families of long-term hospitalised children in Warsaw.
