Magdalena Wiegner aka Magwie is a freelance artist and illustrator based near Berlin, Germany. With a background in stone sculpting, street art, muralism, painting, and digital illustration, they have cultivated a versatile artistic skill set.

 

Since childhood, dreams have been a constant source of inspiration, shaping the visual language and atmosphere of their work. Drawing from these inner landscapes, they create worlds that blur the boundaries between dream and reality.

Through this aesthetic, Magdalena invites viewers to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and question the values that shape contemporary society. In a culture often defined by separation, competition, and relentless growth, their art offers a space for vulnerability, reflection, and it helps us remember our own inner worlds that got lost along the way of growing up.

Magdalena also believes in not taking life too seriously. The characters they create are never merely conventionally beautiful or decorative; there is always something slightly weird, dark, or edgy about them. They embrace imperfection, weirdness, humour, and celebrate existence in all its sad and beautiful absurdity.

A central pillar of Magdalena’s practice is the commitment to presence and slowness. They believe that beauty reveals itself when we pause, notice subtle details, and allow emotions the time and space to unfold. Their work gives form to unseen details, quiet intensities, and the delicate fragments of dreams that often disappear in the noise of everyday life.
