Biography
Graduate of Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. She completed her diploma with honors in the Book Graphics Studio under the direction of Bogna Otto-Węgrzyn, PhD. She works primarily in comics and painting. Working within both these media, she analyzes the phenomena that bother her, spinning fantastic stories around them. In doing so, she creates a peculiar universe full of characters combining both painfully mundane and demonic traits. In search of inspiration, she scours the deepest recesses of the Internet. For her thesis she received the Award of the President of the City of Gdansk in the competition Best Diplomas of the Academy of Fine Arts for the year 2022, and was included in the list of FNC Diplomas of the portal FONT not font! She was a finalist in the Young Wolves 19, Autumn Loostro Art Salon 16, 31st National Review of Painting of the Young Promotions 2023, the 6th National Leon Wyczółkowskiegow Painting Competition in Bydgoszcz and the 2nd Art Biennale in Tarnow.
