Biography

Olivia Mròz

Olivia Mròz is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice predominantly centers on photography. Her work delves into the exploration of themes central to the human experience: queerness, sex, identity, and the complex interplay of trauma and emotional states. Employing a self-reflexive approach in her art, she manipulates her figures through layers of distortion and erasure, reflecting her subconscious psychological processing while simultaneously acting as grounding catharsis. An integral part of her creative process is creating images with any available photographic device embracing spontaneity, freedom and versatility. The immediate access to a workspace enables a relaxed workflow and effortless immersion into a flow state.

Mròz holds a Bachelor of Photography from the Photography Studies College and a Master of Contemporary Art from the VCA, University of Melbourne. Her work has been showcased at various exhibitions and festivals, including The International Festival of Photography: PHOTO 2022; OBSCURA Festival in Penang, Malaysia; and the Krakow Photomonth Festival in Poland.
