Ewa Zeller was born in Poland. In 1998, she graduated from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, with an M.A. degree in Museum Science, Preservation, and Research of Historical Heritage from the Department of Fine Arts. She also completed the program “Urban Heritage and Monument Preservation” at Warsaw Polytechnic, Department of Architecture. Additionally, she pursued postgraduate studies in the conservation of historic monuments, with her thesis awarded and published by the National Institute of Culture in Warsaw in 2000. From 1987 to 2003, she worked at the State Office for the Preservation and Research of Historical Monuments and Heritage in Białystok, Poland. She specialized in scientific research on the history and current condition of cultural heritage, contributed to national catalogues, and participated in several conferences on monument protection across Poland and Germany.
Since 2003, she has resided in the United States and has been dedicated to painting. She studied painting with various artists and attended courses at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, the School of Visual Arts in Chelsea, and the Arts Council of Princeton. She works with oil, acrylic, and pastel and has exhibited primarily in New Jersey, as well as in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New York. Her works can be found in private collections across the U.S., in the John Paul II Foundation in Vatican City, and in the Trenton Museum Society, which purchased one of her pieces. Her first solo exhibition took place at Druch Studio Gallery in Trenton, NJ, from February to March 2006. Her second exhibition was held at Skulski Art Gallery in Clark, NJ, from October 17 to November 2009. She later exhibited at PII Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, from December 3 to 31, 2010.
Ewa is connected with Art's Council of Princeton - Gregory Perkel’s Art Studio and PRATT Institute in Brooklyn. Ewa exhibited primarily in New Jersey, next in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Her works can be found in private collections in U.S.A. and in Trenton City Museum. Her artwork includes portraits, still life and landscapes. Ewa works with oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolor, but recently her preferred medium is oil. Currently she paints as much as she can, training to find her own style of expression. Her painting style can be seen as a combination of realistic and impressionist work.
Ewa paints natural subjects in a combination of representative styles. The composition and color relationships are the drivers of each piece. All of the natural subjects can offer the opportunity to show off relationships of color, which is special for her. She takes into account the inspiration from her favorite polish artists of the “Young Poland” movement such as Alfons Karpinski, Jan Stanislawski, Stanistaw Wyspianski, Konrad Krzyzanowski and others. Nonetheless she does not hide equal appreciation for non-polish artists such as Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt. Ewa is an artist with old European background, searching for her original style among the modern realities of the New World. While having a concentration on the classic styles of Europe, Ewa evolves from these with a renewed sense of self. “The painting is my joy and delight and attempt to survive the chaos of the twenty first Century…” says Ewa.
