Monika Trypuz (born 1981, Chełm) is a visual artist and graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, the Faculty of Arts at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, and Mathematics at the Catholic University of Lublin. She combines Polish folk culture and craftsmanship with modern digital techniques, focusing on the weaving tradition of eastern Poland. Perebor—a traditional weaving ornament typical for this region—has become her artistic language of expression, present in her projects “Atencja,” “Axis of the World,” and “Flashback.” She is the author of the art book Village Yearbook and the study Lublin Perebory: Past and Present. She created the project Perebor Spaces: Reflections of Tradition, Rhythm of the Future, prepared for the Lublin Open Air Village Museum, which represented the Lublin region at Expo Osaka 2025.
