Monika Drzewicz

Through the lens of my camera, I embark on a journey to capture the magic and beauty that often eludes the hurried gaze of daily life. As a fine art photographer specializing in creative portraits, my mission is to unveil the extraordinary within the seemingly ordinary, to reveal the essence of humanity in all its complexity and wonder.

In a world saturated with mundane routines and distractions, I find solace and inspiration in the act of photography. It serves as my tool to break through the monotony, to rediscover the enchantment that surrounds us at every turn. With each click of the shutter, I am reminded of the infinite possibilities that exist within the realm of visual storytelling.

Recently, I have ventured into the world of paint, exploring this new medium to further expand my artistic expression. Through figurative art, I delve deeper into the human form, seeking to capture not only its physical likeness but also its emotional resonance. With brush in hand, I explore the interplay of light and shadow, color and texture, to create compositions that speak to the soul.
