Iwona Golor, born on November 29, 1991, in Tarnowskie Góry, is a contemporary expressive painter, portraitist, and landscape artist. Since 2016, she has been a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Faculty of Painting, where she studied under Professors Krzysztof Wachowiak and Edward Tarkowski.

She is a recipient of the Golden Index award, the 3rd prize awarded by Member of the European Parliament Ewa Tomaszewska, and a finalist of national painting competitions, including those named after K. Grzesiak and Marian Michalik.

She is the creator of large portrait painting projects, including "Who's Next? A Gallery of Polish Nobel Laureates", commissioned by the Ministry of National Education in 2025, "Face It" and "Portraits in the Style of Witkacy". She is also the author of travel-inspired landscape cycles such as "Dominicana", where she explores expressive transformations and the blurring of clarity at the edges of figurative art. In her work, color and dynamic expression remain essential.

Since 2021, her paintings have shown strong influences of naïve art, with disrupted scale and perspective, as well as attempts to translate poetic methods into visual storytelling—blending real, imagined, and ambiguous elements.

She is the author of the popular portrait of Jurek Owsiak and the painted visual spot for the 29th Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP). She has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including at the ToTuArt Gallery in Koneser, Warsaw's Praga district. Her work has been featured on television (e.g., Dzień Dobry TVN, Teleexpress) and in various newspapers and magazines such as Gazeta Wyborcza, Twój Styl, Vogue, and Witkacy. Her paintings are also part of the collection at the Museum in Tarnowskie Góry.
