Marlena Nizio studied painting under prof. Jerzy Nowosielski at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. She received her diploma in 1986. She was a holder of a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture in Arts (1987). Professor Nowosielski about Nizio, “Marlena Nizio studied painting in my atelier. Yet I did not expect such a strong hit, such a massive activity of the already shaped artistic vision, better to say, inborn, ready and absolutely independent. It even frightens me. When the beginning comes with something so complete and formed, what will be next? Where is the place for progress and maturation? But these are pedant questions. In front of artistic facts, such questions cannot be asked. One should be grateful for what is already been given to us because such moments of joy and satisfaction are rare in contemporary painting. The duty of a person writing for a catalog is to state the unquestioned fact. Someone already formed, enters our artistic life. Someone with a true and individual artistic vision, who does not have to search out for it because it is already given to that person. It is real beyond any doubts. It is a fact and artistic reality totally genuine. Everything we can do now sits and rejoice over it. In times so difficult for art, full of doubts about the future of painting, these pictures prove such forecasts wrong.”
