Hanna Dąbrowska-Certa (born 1978) is a Polish painter and iconographer who lectures in Studies of the Christian East at the Dominican Monastery in Warsaw.

She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she studied painting, including the techniques and technologies of mural painting, and became acquainted with the theoretical work Return to image due to the tradition of icons. She graduated in 2002.

The inspiration for her interest in sacred art was John Paul II's Letter to Artists, which came to her through the late Professor Edward Tarkowski, who spoke of the artist's calling to create art in the service of the Church. Under his supervision Hanna learnt not only respect for the craft of painting, the search for the nobility of matter, and the study of such works as Cennino Cennini's Treatise on Painting, but also, how to search for the deep meaning of painting that is revealed in the Incarnation, the Theophany of God, through remaining sensitive to the spiritual sphere. This resulted in her interest in the iconographic tradition as elucidated in the Russian thinkers Florensky, Ouspensky and Evdokimov. During this time, she also practised monumental abstract painting using the techniques of egg tempera on canvas, al fresco, sgraffito and mosaic. The painter viewed her abstract and ornamental paintings as vehicles for entering the space of the sacred—"walls" or backgrounds on which the light falls from the face of God, surrounded by the saints. The turning point on her path to icons was when she began studying at the Christian East Studies School, which was established at the Dominican Monastery in Warsaw. After that time, she abandoned abstract painting in favour of figurative painting based on the iconographic tradition, with total creative dedication to work for the glory of God, serving the church, its communities, and the faithful by creating icons for communal and private worship. Over the last few years, her work has taken on new, more personal and individual features, and expresses an intellectual interpretation of theological content through the language of painting.
