Brigid Bocian - painter, sculptor, designer of clothes, costumes and theatrical and home decorations. She was born in 1956 in a family with artistic and patriotic traditions. She graduated from PLSP in Lublin, and from the Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn at the Faculty of Design, and additionally did a specialization in sculpture under the direction of Prof. Teresa Plata (who taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw). She created her own clothing company, which she ran with her sisters until 1981, after which she moved to Bonn, Germany. From her earliest years, she painted, clayed, and created decorations for family theaters based on original scripts. She was also involved in costume design.
Today Brigid Bocian creates unique works, sculpts and paints, creates original installations from wire, paper and household objects. She rarely presents her works in exhibitions, but her work is valued by collectors, especially her original installations, which, due to their openwork nature, are both a work of art and a kind of decoration, fitting into the space without restricting it in the way traditional art does. Brigid Bocian's works can be presented on large glass planes and make use of external light, making the image alive and changing constantly depending on what is happening outside the window.
