“Every new day has taken us many years

of the life that came before it.”

/ Aneta&Filip /

  • “I met Anetka and immediately knew that together we would create something extraordinary. And that is how our MIRAGES were born… from our sensitivity to the world around us.

    I love the way she sees light and the way she captures it in her photographs. What is fascinating is that each of us sees differently — yet somehow we see everything the same way.”

  • “Filip has a remarkable ability to capture both the smallest detail and bold, expressive abstraction. He adds a third dimension to photography.

    He is an endless source of inspiration to me. I’m grateful that we have each other — and that together, we are able to see more :)”

Aneta and Filip Gębscy are an artistic duo who have spent years developing a shared visual language based on the fusion of photography and drawing.

Combining their individual creative practices, they created the original MIRAGE technique — a process in which photography becomes the starting point for drawing, while drawing gradually transforms the image into a new, organic form.

Their works exist somewhere between documentation and illusion.
For them, photography is not a record of reality, but a search for light, tension and hidden meanings. Drawing does not illustrate the image — it allows it to evolve, revealing what remains invisible at first glance.

Each work is created by hand on specially selected handmade paper that preserves the depth of blacks and the subtlety of tonal transitions, while simultaneously allowing intervention through graphite drawing. The process demands absolute precision — no eraser is ever used, and every mark remains final.

The Gębskis’ artistic practice moves between surrealism, memory and the observation of the contemporary world. In their works, the artists reinterpret classical motifs from art history, relocating them into raw contemporary environments filled with urban textures, metaphors and emotional tension.

The duo’s first joint exhibition took place in 2021 under the patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw at the Orangery Gallery in Jabłonna Palace. The exhibition was curated by Professor Stanisław Wieczorek.

In 2023, their solo exhibition became part of the accompanying programme of the 28th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. The exhibition was curated by the renowned poster artist Professor Lech Majewski.

For several years, they have been running their own Atelier in Warsaw and collaborating creatively and photographically with film director Jerzy Skolimowski. They had the honour of designing posters for EO — the Academy Award-nominated and Cannes Jury Prize-winning film. Their works have also been presented at the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw.

In 2025, they were invited by the Warsaw Gallery of Graphics and Posters to present their works during the Night of Museums. In 2026, they began their collaboration with the National Museum in Warsaw.

The artistic work of Aneta and Filip Gębscy was also featured in the publication Polish Drawing — Selected Artists of the 20th and Early 21st Century, released by the Mazovian Institute of Culture.
