Barbara Derecka

Artistic background

Barbara Derecka is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores the delicate interplay between memory, landscape, and emotional resonance. Originally from Poland and currently based in the UK, Barbara draws deeply from her cross-cultural experiences.

Barbara’s practice is rooted in a desire to capture what is fleeting: emotions that hover just beneath the surface, and people remembered more by the heart than the eye. Her recent exhibitions, including those at the Castle Park Arts Centre in Frodsham, have been celebrated for their evocative power and poetic subtlety.

Whether working on canvas or paper, Barbara seeks to create spaces where viewers can pause, reflect, and connect with the intangible. Her work continues to evolve as she explores the boundaries of abstraction, material, and memory.
