Ewa Ciepielewska
Ewa Ciepielewska (Wałbrzych, Poland, 1960) is a painter, author of outdoor performances and nature lover. She lives and works in Krakow, Szczawno-Zdrój, and in places where rivers flow. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, she has been associated with the Luxus artistic group since 1982. In 1997, she founded the Volans association, which supports contemporary art and young artists. For 18 years, she has sailed a wooden barge on the Vistula River, committed to preserving its natural state. Since 2016, together with Agnieszka Brzeżańska, she has run the recurring project FLOW/ PRZEPŁYW, whose participants include visual artists, musicians, performers, curators, activists and enthusiasts. She is a member of the Coalition Save the Rivers.
Most recently, her work is featured in Framer Framed’s exhibition Wild Waters: Dams and And Deltas After Modernity (2026) on the inextricable links between water, colonial expansion and territorial exploitation.
