Chopin's swallows

Swallows are my favourite birds and Chopin is my beloved composer. Here, I combined my love of nature with my passion for classical music. By blending elements from a few of my own photos, I wanted to create a work that would reflect both the dynamism and harmony of Chopin's music.

About Artist

Magdalena Jóźwiak

I have been passionate about photography and poetry for over 25 years. My works have been exhibited both in solo and group exhibitions, and some have been honoured in various photo competitions, for example in Monochrome Awards 2025 (Second Place Winner in the Photomanipulation category). Earlier the same year, I was awarded a literary scholarship by the Marshal of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship (Poland), which enabled me to complete my literary project and publish the first volume of my poetry. In 2025, I also successfully completed a three-year course in photography, graduating with distinction from the Photography School of the Association of Polish Art Photographers (Studium ZPAF) in Warsaw. As part of my diploma project, I self-published my album 'Fotosłowie' – combining my poetry and photography, and designed a spatial game. In April 2026, I became an official member of the Association of Polish Art Photographers.
