Jadwiga Maziarska was a Polish artist who belonged to the 2nd Krakow Group and was associated with Tadeusz Kantor. She experimented with tashism but rejected coincidence as a form of expression. Her seemingly abstract art was an expression of her deepest thoughts and feelings and resulted from the belief in the unity of man with the world.

Maziarska changed her style and techniques many times, creating paintings, reliefs, collages, applications, and sculptures. She consciously remained on the margins of the artistic world and was reluctant to comment on her work. Her works were rediscovered in 1998, revealing that they had their origins in a collection of images: photographs cut out of magazines and newspapers.
