Ladies Inda House Artwork

Born in the monochrome world of 1980s Warsaw, Poland, Patrycja Lucyna Altyńska, known artistically as PLAY, grew up in a landscape where shades of grey dominated everyday life. Her "second teenage wave," amidst a pre-middle age crisis, sparked a passionate love affair with colours, transforming her view of the world and art itself. Initially dismissing an artistic career for those clad in berets and burdened with easels, PLAY eventually unleashed her inner creator, becoming a self-taught artist fascinated by the interplay of all forms of expression, including art, culture, fashion and the exciting synchronicities that connect them. PLAY’s art uplifts and energizes—like a shot of joy straight to your soul! She creates to capture and elevate your vibes, taking you to the next level. Think of it as a trampoline for your emotions—the higher you bounce, the more alive you feel! She’s deeply attuned to the art of synchronicities, those magical moments when life’s seemingly random events align in perfect harmony. PLAY’s creative process often feels like a dance with the universe, where spontaneous bursts of inspiration are triggered by the creativity of others or unusual items that catch her eye. Her work is a vibrant expression of her obsessions with specific colours and media. When she paints, she taps into a flow state where her senses sharpen, and ideas flow freely. PLAY, immerses herself in the ethereal soundscapes of orchestral and cinematic piano music, blending into vibrant rhythms of organic house and acid jazz. This musical backdrop deeply influences her colourful, otherworldly art. Beyond the canvas, PLAY explores metaphysical teachings with a blend of rationally grounded science, adding depth to her mystical narratives. Her works are portals to mystical energies, offering viewers a glimpse into the universe’s magical synchronicities. Each creation celebrates these connections, embodying a fusion of art and otherworldly exploration. PLAY embraces her "happy accidents," viewing them as gifts rather than mistakes. Often, her so-called errors turn out better than her original plan, as if the universe itself is in on the joke. With a degree in politics and a background in marketing, PLAY’s artistic journey re-emerged through her work as a creative life coach. Now based in London, UK, she continues to co-create and inspire. PLAY is an idealist and natural mediator who believes in purposeful and conscious co-creation, driven by win-win scenarios.
