Mateusz Woźniak (b. 1992) is a visual artist. He graduated from the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, where he completed his diploma in 2022 under the supervision of Professor Andrzej Bednarczyk. He works with photography, text, and sound, treating them as tools for recording and structuring reality. Rather than following a single style, he is interested in how different forms can collide and complement one another. His works move between documentary and intimate record, seeking a language that leaves room for what cannot be fully articulated. Photography becomes at times a point of departure, at others a trace of something that could not be expressed otherwise. His works are held in private collections and have been presented in both solo and group exhibitions. He currently works as a photography specialist at the Museum of Photography in Kraków.
