Magdalena Wozniak Melissourgaki is a Polish Greek artist whose talent and style are compared to Paul Cezzane and Auguste Renoir by art critics. A self-motivated and passionate artist, she combines the classical with modernity, as she takes a timeless subject or topic and presents a modern rendition of it. She redefines and recreates a traditional idea, by imparting expression through brush strokes. She paints in a variety of mediums- oils, pastels, charcoals, and works on various creative projects. Magdalena loves doing portraits and pays special attention to get a true likeness of the eyes as she firmly believes that our “eyes are the windows to our souls”. In her opinion the skillful use of the art isn’t only the attempt of reflection the reality but first of all is the most accurate mirror of emotion.

Magdalena was born and grew up in Poland where from an early age was obvious that her biggest love is painting. She started participate to a lot of art competitions, she has a degree of Fine Art and studied Multimedia Graphics at the Warsaw School of Art. After that she moved to Greece, she developed her talent under the watchful eye of Botis Thalassinos, who was close friend of Salvador Dali.

Magdalena is a co-organizer and Jury committee president at the Aegean Arts International Festival on Crete, member of Biennale, ambassador in Mondial Art Academia and jury at Children’s Art Gallery in Greece. She is curator of the El Greco Museum and she is responsible for the organization of international exhibitions. Over the years she does illustrations, book covers, art installation, animation and sculpture. She has been  located on Crete and until now she is making official and certificated copies of the most important artefacts and images from the Minoan Civilization collection. Also, from the true and deep love for art she teaches the sensibility of emotion and beauty to the new generation. She believes that the art influences imagination, calmness and except that, is the most universal language in the world. Furthermore as an art therapist she voluntarily helped people that suffer from mental diseases.

Magdalena is an artist with a lot of great success and the last years her work was presented in few newspapers. Her works are in the collections of many private and corporate collectors from such countries as USA, Canada, Italy, Germany, Greece, Poland, Turkey etc.
In her last exhibition she presented an artwork collection which have shown the connection, but also the difference between the traditional and modern art. The goal of this collection was to pay attention on emotions which are the trait of modern art. Paintings were in couples, one was realistic and the other one was a description of feelings. Main part of the exhibition was dedicated to the metaphor of windows and the light pouring into the dark room. In her work she used different type of technique which influenced for different form of perception the same window. It was a theme which specially encouraged the reflection and made you think about the future.
This exhibition was the key to the imagination and was inviting the visitors to an amazing trip on their reflection.
