B. 1987, Plock

Her adventure with painting began in 2015, it was then that she discovered how much joy she got from creating the space around her through drawing and painting. She painted furniture, flower pots, greeting cards, walls, portraits, canvases and paintings. She began her art training in learning the basics of drawing, figure drawing and portraiture. In 2017, she was awarded in the National Surrealist Competition named after Salvador Dali and participated in the collective post-competition exhibition.

Painting is her lifelong passion, which has always accompanied her and will continue to do so. This is what the artist herself says about her work: "in my works I try to combine my two natures: artistic and mathematical. The part in me that is rooted as an "exact mind" makes me try to look at the world, finding geometric figures and regular shapes in every being and object. In turn, the part of me that is delicate, full of sensitivity and spirituality makes me look at the world through feelings. So in my paintings I combine spiritual and emotional complexity with mathematical simplicity. In other words: complicated - I simplify, simple - I complicate. I find the joy of creation not in striving for a perfect reflection of reality, but in constructing a message and presenting a vision in a way that is detached from reality, often even surreal and inconsistent with the laws of nature. Art is my personal laboratory of color and mind."
