Marzena Abrahamik is an American artist with a rich cultural background. She was born in Poland, raised in Greece, and for the last ten years has called Chicago home. River Fused with Sagittarius Moon is from a series of explorations of psychedelic experiences, in which Abrahamik presents a broad scope of imagery and color palettes. She states: “I am exploring the intricacies of human relationships rooted in pain and pleasure . . . how birth, death, and psychedelics are experienced through high and low pleasures, historically, culturally and through the lens of memory.” Abrahamik received her BA in political science and philosophy from Loyola University, and her MFA in photography from Yale University. Her work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions at Aperture, New York; the Silver Eye Center for Photography, Pittsburgh; Weinberg/Newton Gallery, Chicago; and the Gallery of Classic Photography, Moscow. She is the recipient of the John Ferguson Weir Award, the Polish American Chamber of Commerce, and the IAS Artist Project Grant. Abrahamik’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP), Chicago; Art Institute of Chicago; and Haas Family Arts Library at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
