Joanna Ingarden-Mouly was born in Krakow in 1961, in a Polish People’s Republic plagued by uncertainty, which she left at the age of 20 after studying literature, art history and drawing.
She went on to enrich her artistic knowledge in Paris and New York, before settling down not far from Lausanne, where she has set up her own studio in collaboration with designer Thierry Pierre. “La Menuiserie”, as it is called, is much more than just a studio. It is designed to be a place where she can meet and exchange ideas with the public and with other artists.

Through a subtle blend of painting techniques, Joanna Ingarden-Mouly frees herself from the constraints of academic style to express herself with greater freedom and passion. Her brush sweeps across the canvas with a subtle force, at times seeming to tear the surface with a delicate touch. She explores space, playing with emptiness, fullness and relief.
In her works, nature is not just represented, it literally bursts onto the canvas to merge with it. The colours, with no subtle gradations, are charged and stretched, captivating the viewer’s eye with a dazzling variety of hues. It is not brutality that dominates, but rather a sensation of elevation towards an ocean of gentleness.
The variety of shapes and textures reveals a wild and untamed nature. Yet there is no confusion, only the frank expression of pure emotion. The painter skilfully blends colours with strong tones, inviting us to sail through imaginary landscapes, similar to an archipelago in the middle of a storm or an island land covered in lush vegetation.
