K I N G A CH R Z A S Z C Z E W S K A B I O G R A P H Y A native of Warsaw, Kinga Chrzaszczewska A.K.A. KiniaKik, is an artist who has lived in London and Southern England since 1995. Her work is an expression of her intuitive self, born out of her dreams and emotional response to the world. She is a ‘woman who runs with the wolves’, driven by a spiritual intrigue for the wildness of being, the folk mythology, carnival… and the dream. She responds with colour, shape, tone and texture and within her collage work, a panoply of emotions take shape.. including seriousness, humour and playfulness, with Kinga’s paintings and sculpture we find rich layers of symbolism and reactions to feelings experienced.Her work offers a glimpse into an original and inspired mind. Kinga Chrzaszczewska is a professional award-winning artist, in 2006 she completed a BA Honorus Degree in Mixed Media Fine Art 2;1 and since that time Kinga has continued to pursue her career as a serious and dedicated Artist. For several years she ran an art club called the “Parrot Art Room” where she conducted art workshops in both English and Polish. For more than a year she delivered Art Therapy workshops within the Learning Support Unit at the London Academy in Edgware. After moving to Poland in 2007 she was offered the post of Art Teacher for children aged 3-8 in the British School in Warsaw and for two years she taught Art. In 2010 in Poland, Kinga was honoured with 1st place at the Festival of Fine Arts Workshops at “Wolski Days of Inspiration” by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

"I work intuitively and follow my instincts; my influences come from dreams, mythology, people, life, and other artists whom I admire... this is a very long list which grows by the day. I am constantly discovering new amazing artists whose work inspires me. The work process is vital for me, I very much enjoy my connection with the piece I am working on, the texture and interplay of colours combined with the playfulness of interpreting and transforming ideas into reality. I work mostly alone, but adore collaboration with other artists and enjoy articulating my thoughts and expressing ideas. My studio is my ‘sanctuary’....
