Luiza Niechoda Creates Landscapes with a Glitch

Polish artist Luiza Niechoda creates one-of-a-kind oil paintings of landscapes. They show natural scenery but regularly feature a glitch.

The glitches found in Niechoda’s artworks come in the form of pixelization. They looked like they were loading on a computer but never managed to finish the process. However, there is no digital touch component to their creation; they are made just like every other traditional oil painting.

Niechoda achieves this effect with her unorthodox approach to painting: she always looks to incorporate geometrical shapes into her paintings and uses only vertical and horizontal brushstrokes. This unique style was influenced by the artist’s background as an engineer in geodesy and cartography.

“I know my pieces are landscapes, but in my head, they’re feelings. The reason I translate these feelings into views is my love for the Pacific Northwest (I might have watched too much Twilight as a teenager) and the work of artists like Friedrich or Turner,” Niechoda shares on her website. “I definitely see my work becoming more and more abstract in the future.”

Niechoda’s unique art made its way to private and public collections all over the world. The artist also regularly updates her social media pages with new work. Check out more of them below.
