In 2017, I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, majoring in painting, a painting studio run by prof. Adam Brincken and the drawing studio led by Dr. Rafał Borcz.
I share my life between painting and family life because I am a mother of two little boys. The pregnancy started a new stage in my art. I painted intuitively, often abstractly, with pure colors, most often watercolors on large canvases, inspired by the body of a woman and Kandinsky's texts. I began to work horizontally, laying the canvas on the floor. I wanted to transfer the same effect to my paintings as in the drawings and sketches I painted on a wet surface. So I started covering the entire canvas with water before applying the first brush strokes and stains. I wanted a blur effect.
I gave my painting a characteristic form, until today using mainly the water technique, affirming the body and life of a woman, transforming it in my own way. I love to show their delicacy and, at the same time, extraordinary strength and courage, movement, line, beauty, and emotions.
I often work on raw canvases, using transparent ground. Their color, structure, and even smell are something beautiful to me.
Old photographs of female nudes are my inspiration. I am looking for something special in them that will catch my attention. It can be an emotion or a dynamic pose, movement, or gesture. And then I create a picture very intuitively, always listening to music, often singing or dancing. It is an amazing process for me, taking me away from reality. Feeling like I'm in a trance, I arrange the picture like a puzzle. The first gestures are usually very expressive, and the subsequent and last are more and more deliberate ones.
