Natalia Landowska is a New York based Polish artist working in ceramics and light. Rooted in material experimentation and perceptual inquiry, her practice explores the dynamic relationship between surface, form, and light. 

By blending porcelain clay with paper pulp, Landowska engineers works of improbable lightness for the medium. Gravity-defying forms, sometimes cloud-like translucent shells, seem to strain against their own material limits. Her glaze mixtures are also illusions onto-themselves, fooling the viewers into textures ranging from polished metals and glass, paper blowing in the wind, to piles of bubblegum stacked from an eon of schoolchildren.
Light is the catalytic force within each vessel — creating shadows and reflections with character as much as the glaze itself, revealing depth within apparent disorder, breathing life into matter.

Landowska’s glazes are meticulously layered and blended, at times fissuring and peeling away from the ceramic body; edges appear frayed or unresolved. Despite their apparent chaos, the compositions are carefully calibrated. Landowska seeks equilibrium within volatility, she challenges viewer’s entrenched notions of beauty, presenting objects whose visual disorder give way, under light, to unexpected harmony.

Her practice is a reaction to the measured, precise, and preplanned execution demanded from her architectural training. It is a deliberate counterbalance seeking an outlet for intuitive process and improvisation.
Influenced by abstract expressionist paintings, Natalia works with gesture and dynamics of movement, markmaking with thickened paste-like glazes squeezed between her fingers to form layers of peaks and smudges leaving visceral memories of her presence.
Taking weeks to months, multiple glaze layerings, and more often than not cracks and destruction in the firing process, the works that endure emerge as artifacts of persistence.

Natalia graduated in Architecture and Urban Planning from the Technical University of Gdansk in 2009. She has exhibited in New York at LoveHouse (The Family Show, 2025), Verso (Verso & Friends, 2024), Salon (Meta/morphosis, 2022), Objective Gallery (Self Made, 2022), and at PAD Paris 2026. Her work has been placed in private collections internationally, including residences in Paris and Shanghai and aboard private yachts. She has been featured in Architectural Digest, LUXE Interiors + Design, IFDM, and Bloomberg TV, among others.
