Agata Bebecka is a contemporary artist working primarily in oil and watercolors. Born in Poland, she currently lives and works in the United States. After receiving her art degree from the School of Visual Arts in 2005, she spent a decade as a finishing painter at the studio of Marilyn Minter in New York. She has been written about in Artnet Magazine as one of five emerging artists who stood out to them at the Los Angeles art fairs of 2023. She lives in Florida, where she can regularly commune with nature. Her gem-like canvases explore themes of the mythical, the mysterious, and the natural beauty of the world. She is often inspired by her dreams and the visions that come to her when she is alone in the woods.
