Monika Nowak is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses performance, video, installations, and writing—often imbued with a distinctly theatrical sensibility. Small in stature but bold in spirit, she brings her boundless imagination to life through creative storytelling and immersive experiences. Her work is characterized by a combination of humor and dark undertones, where sharply outlined objects, layered compositions, and surprising changes in scale distort reality, giving it an artificial, absurd character.

Nowak's spatial installations tell stories inspired by life events, but instead of presenting a clear narrative, the artist creates atmospheric scenes – capturing a moment suspended between what has already happened and what may still happen. These scenes serve as fragments of a narrative, full of tension and scattered clues that encourage viewers to create their own interpretations. Her texts often form the conceptual backbone of these installations, enriched with her own drawings and complemented by performative elements.

Through the use of contrasting color, the scale of objects, and surreal spatial arrangements, Nowak blurs the boundaries between comedy and drama, fiction and reality, creating experiences that are as entertaining as they are haunting.
