The artist about herself: "I graduated from the High School of Fine Arts in Cracow. Studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow I was forced to stop, but the need to create accompanies me constantly. For many years I was involved in designing and making ceramics, but it is in painting that I give vent to my need to express myself and my perception of the world. Color, unlimited forms, surface contrast, a multitude of unobvious elements interwoven with real fragments of reality allow me to express fleeting emotions. I am inspired by nature and seemingly ordinary surroundings, reflections of light, fleeting contrasts, asymmetry of nature. Textures, shapes and colors intermingle with each other. Some are dynamic, full of energy, others are balanced, calm and nostalgic just like emotions, which everyone reads in their own way. That's why I don't name my works, because looking at them has its own feelings. Some see an abstract landscape, a fond memory, others a state depicting inner emotions. I paint with oil and acrylic paints, both media give slightly different possibilities so I use them depending on the effect I want to achieve, although the idea appears suddenly and is never fully specified. It develops as I paint until the painting comes to life."
