007 | Maja Dlugolecki, Painter & Founder of Lobster Club - Channeling Emotion Into An Art Empire

Hi friends. Today we sit down with Maja Dlugolecki. A Polish-American painter, curator, and the founder of Lobster Club, a gallery and rotating residency program that blends art, music and food around the world.

Maja started painting after a breakup. It was just a way to move through what she was feeling, but over time, it became a daily practice. Her style is abstract and intuitive, with layered textures and colors shaped by whatever she’s carrying. Instead of journaling, she paints, and each piece gets a title tied to a memory or moment from that time.

As the Founder & Director of Lobster Club, Maja has created spaces that feel more like living, breathing experiences than traditional galleries. The goal is simple: give artists autonomy, and let community and creativity lead.

In this episode, we talk about how Maja learned to channel emotion into her work, how she made the leap from a career in design to building a life around her art, and how you might begin to tap into your own creative process. I’ve learned a lot from Maja, this one hit deep. Hope you enjoy.

Onwards & upwards,

Luke
