Scholarship holder of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. Member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers. She deals with sculpture in the organic trend. The materials in which she works are mainly gypsum and ceramics. She is inspired by the structure and shape observed in nature. Characteristic features of her works are synthesis of form, roundness, smoothness of surface, harmony. The artist has been developing a project depicting a female head for 6 years. Her idea was to create a universal and new human figure.
"Combining the characteristic features of different peoples, I was looking for a portrait of a cosmic man, connected to the universe, a man who is the embodiment of peace. The sculpture depicts a hybrid free from suffering, which is an immanent feature of human nature. Calm is an enlightened being; awakened from a state of ignorance, who has transcended the suffering of human existence."
