Biography
A graduate of the Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Rzeszow, she received her diploma with honors in 2005. Her work is not limited to painting, but also photography, drawing and graphic design. She has held 28 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 180 group exhibitions at home and abroad, winning awards and honors. Her works are in collection and private galleries at home and abroad. The inspiration in the artist's work is the surrounding nature. From it she draws a wealth of form and color. Her paintings, at first more realistic, now depict memorized frames transferred to canvas, which the artist captures with worn brushes and spatulas, and other tools. To achieve a mood in a painting, she also often uses other materials in her compositions. The color range of her works is often limited to colors such as ultramarine, cobalt and Prussian blue. She likes to experiment with color and consciously strives toward expression and even abstraction.
