The Alien Maze II Painting

I am a Polish-born artist based in London, with a background as an international fashion model. The creative vision of the designers I once worked with continues to shape my artistic lens. Through fashion, I developed a profound appreciation for the natural world, its ever-shifting light and atmospheric nuance. This fascination with light and shadow remains central to my artistic practice, which spans painting, sculpture, sound, and installation. Completing a Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. My earlier studies include the Modern Art & Ideas course at MoMA and a four-week painting summer school at the Slade School of Fine Art. My work explores themes of memory, time, grief, and regeneration. I often return to the metaphor of the shoreline, a liminal space where moments shift like sand in the tide. In both painting and installation, I seek to translate emotional landscapes into sensory experiences. This month, my installation Memory Clock is being exhibited at the Chemist Gallery, London. The piece features a 3D-printed resin hand rotating under a yellow spotlight, moving clockwise like the hands of time. As the sculpture turns, it evokes the sensation of sand slipping through one’s fingers, a meditation on fleeting moments. The work is accompanied by an audio recording of layered ocean waves and spoken reflections, blending tactile form with emotional sound. In my paintings, I explore asymmetrical balance through warm and cool hues creating a melodic interplay of color that reflects emotion, time, and the subconscious. I work primarily in oil and acrylic but have recently expanded into sculptural and video-based forms. One body of work includes 3D-printed self-portrait faces painted in a hyper realistic style, along with resin hands. These faces, suspended in intimate expression, represent emotional states paused between inward introspection and outward expression, grief, joy, vulnerability, and strength. They invite the viewer to consider how the emotional landscape is held, endured, or revealed. My current installation in progress centers on a deeply personal object, a small stone I found while diving into the ocean with my brother on a beach in Greece. I have carried it with me ever since. This stone became a starting point for storytelling through sculpture. For my upcoming final show at Goldsmiths in July, I am constructing a large, textured boulder at the heart of a recreated shoreline.
