Magdalena Zarychta is a Polish visual artist working in artistic glass, ceramics, installation, and abstract painting. She graduated from the Faculty of Ceramics and Glass at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, where she earned her diploma in Artistic and Functional Glass Design, with an additional specialization in painting under the supervision of Professor Andrzej Klimczak-Dobrzaniecki.
As a recipient of a scholarship from the Polish Ministry of Culture and Art, she studied at the Department of Ceramics and Glass Design at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, Israel. She also completed doctoral studies in Cultural Management at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
Her artistic practice explores the relationship between body, memory, touch, and material transformation. Working primarily with glass, she investigates its ability to preserve traces of presence, pressure, and emotional experience. Through sculptural forms, installations, ceramics, and abstract painting, she creates works that transform fragile materials into carriers of memory and human experience.
Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Poland and internationally, including 1000 Vases during Paris Design Week and Maison & Objet (Paris, France, 2024), ArteGenova – International Fair of Modern and Contemporary Art (Italy, 2024), Opera con Vista at Museo Diocesano e Capitolare in Terni (Italy, 2025), the 5th International Glass Biennale at the National Gallery Kvadrat 500 in Sofia (Bulgaria, 2025), where her work from the OD(Ś)CISKI series was acquired for the International Biennale of Glass (IBG) Collection, and Glass Festival 2025 at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. In 2026, her works were selected for the international online exhibitions TRACE 2026: Crystallization of Silence and CONNECTION 2026: Inclusions, organized in cooperation with the Corning Museum of Glass and the Glass Art Society as part of the 2026 Glass Art Society Conference.
Her work was featured in Architectural Digest Middle East (2024) among selected contemporary artists presented during 1000 Vases at Paris Design Week.
Her works are held in the International Biennale of Glass (IBG) Collection in Sofia, Bulgaria, and in private collections, including the LERAC Collection in Poland.
Since 2007, she has been the founder and president of the WyspArt Foundation, where she develops contemporary art and cultural education projects. She is a member of Nów. New Craft Poland, the Polish Glass Artists' Association, and the Glass Art Society (USA).
