Paula Malinowska is one of the 2024 laureates of the Oskar Čepan Award for contemporary art in Slovakia.

Paula Malinowska is a digital artist and photographer based in Bratislava. Her artistic practice includes CGI audiovisual works, 3D graphics, animation and 3D printing techniques. Her artistic research is based on studies in the field of biology, climatology or the development of digital technologies. Working with elements of fantasy and fiction, her work explores the mutual relationship between science and myth, the rational and the intuitive, in the hope of connecting them.
