Biography
Gdansk-based artist, paints mainly with acrylics and oils on canvas, in her own mixed technique. Both abstraction and realism are close to her. She also often combines the two. Circles, triangles and squares are elements that always appear on canvas. Scholarships abroad in Spain or England, as well as numerous trips to southern Europe, had a great influence on the colors of the works, making them more intense, more vivid. In the paintings one can see inspiration from the culture of the Middle East, especially from an architectural angle, hence the visible small ornaments, elements related to applied art products. Many times the starting point in creating a painting is the photographs she takes herself. She mainly photographs landscape, architecture, people and nature. More precisely, the structures of plants, trees, rocks, etc., sometimes in microscopic form, after which she transforms them into geometric form.The artist likes to experiment with shapes, various painting techniques, structures, objects. She often complements her abstract paintings with original Swarovski crystals, amber, glass, resin, schagmetal, natural minerals, etc. She has developed her own style which is a synthesis of her experiences, travels, interests, emotions. She also paints series with themes: landscape, cities, women, with numerous geometric elements. "I create so that the painting is not just a decorative element, but also permeates the personal space of the viewer, creating a close relationship with him. He leaves a part of himself in the paintings, his energy. She wants the works to attract in a hypnotic way, to arouse positive emotions, to open the mind and heart of the viewer. "Her works decorate space in private collections in Poland and abroad, including: Spain,England, Morocco, Switzerland, Germany.
