Agata Rek is an interdisciplinary artist and visual designer based in Portland, Oregon. Her work exists at the unique intersection of architectural rigor and organic expression, rooted in a formal education that informs her perception of volume, composition, and structural integrity. This technical background allows her to approach her subjects not merely as surfaces, but as three-dimensional environments.

Drawing from a multicultural perspective, Agata blends European artistic traditions with the bold, experimental spirit of the American West. Her practice is deeply intellectual, rooted in Polish soil and American spirit, allowing her to bridge diverse aesthetic languages. Whether interpreting complex narratives for prestigious magazines or creating hand-sculpted dimensional art for luxury interiors, she focuses on the power of symbolism and the depth of cohesive collections.

Agata’s process prioritizes tactile exploration and the physical labor of fine art—specifically timber sculpture and collage. Her pieces are characterized by a compelling tension between the disciplined lines of her training and the fluid, often unpredictable nature of natural materials. This constant search for narrative is best captured in her own philosophy:

"Stories live in unexpected places; narratives emerge when structure meets chaos. I am trying to find them."

Today, Agata focuses on creating high-end, structural dimensional works and evocative collections in collage and mixed media. Her portfolio is a testament to 20 years of visual storytelling, marked by constant evolution and a deep commitment to her craft.
