Female with Afro Hair, Sitting Young Woman Dressed in Black Painting

I am contemporary artist, born in Poland, and since 2008 based in Manchester, United Kingdom. I paint mainly emotional female portraits. Less or more realistic, my portraits always express my own emotions. I’m absolutely fascinated in creating mood, experimenting with face features, playing with the face expression, especially focusing on eyes. My portraits are then mainly imaginary. Occasionally, I express myself in creating lightweight, quirky sculptures using partly recycled materials, like wire, sisal, fabric, paper, and artistic, environmentally friendly, fabric hardener. I am also furniture artist, known as ‘Chameleon’s House’. Since 2017 I’ve been deeply in love in upcycling vintage furniture. Breathing new lease of live into unwanted pieces is not only environmentally friendly, and helps save furniture from a scrap, but it allows me to use my creativity and artistic skills to turn dull piece of furniture into something valuable, and desirable. Mal Miroslaw is contemporary artist painting mainly emotional female portraits. Less or more realistic, her portraits always express her own emotions. She's fascinated in creating mood, experimenting with face features, playing with the face expression, especially focusing on eyes. Her portraits are then mostly imaginary. Mal is also professional furniture artist, breathing new lease of live into vintage furniture. Her projects are usually reflecting her artistic skills and interest. She feels most comfortably in painting vintage furniture in farmhouse style, bohemian, or recreating chippy paint look or painting original art on furniture.

New for Saatchi I am contemporary artist, born in Poland, since 2008 I have lived in Manchester, UK. People fascinate me since I remember. Not only their appearance but their behaviour and emotions, so after completing education in Fine Art School I aimed to study psychology but finally graduated with MA in Sociology with specialisation in Social Rehabilitation. I worked as a Social Worker and Analyst for many years to finally focus on art professionally in 2013, and soon after I started my adventure with upcycling vintage furniture either. I love to paint emotional female portraits.
