Joanna Pilarczyk

Joanna Pilarczyk is a London-based contemporary figurative painter. Born in Poland,  Joanna studied at the Art University in Zielona Gora. She holds an MA degree in Visual Arts  and Art Education. 


After moving to London over a decade ago, amazed and entranced by diverse cultures  and the vibrant energy, Joanna began to paint oil portraits of new acquaintances and  friends within the artist community of North London. 


In her recent vibrant paintings she focuses on leisure, intimacy, self-awareness and  relationship with other people and also nature. She says 'In my new body of work I explore the subject of a stillness. A moment where the subjects are simply being, and free of  responsibility. However it sits in contrast to vivid energetic colours. I want the viewer to be  drawn in by the often dynamic compositions, the lure of the colours and then notice the  stillness set within that'. 


Pilarczyk is a winner of the Boynes Monthly Artist Award and a finalist in the Women  United Art Prize in 2022 and 2021. She has exhibited her work nationally and  internationally, recently she presented her newest paintings at StART Art Fair in Saatchi  Gallery, London. Her body of work from the ‘My Paradise’ series was showcased at her  solo show with Oink Gallery. She also took part in both Spring and Summer editions of the  Other Art Fair in London. Her painting from the ‘Intimate Times’ series was exhibited in the USA at 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago and Mixx Atelier Gallery in Telluride based in  Colorado. She also exhibited this year at the 'Memories in Hindsight' group show at J/M  Gallery, Notting Hill in London. 


Her paintings have been featured and she was interviewed for art magazine publications  including Create! Magazine, All She Makes, Art Seen, The Huts, Women United Art  Magazine, New Visionary, and the Suboart Magazine.
