I usually create series that vary in subject matter. I like to explore one theme and search for nuances in it until I feel satisfaction or find new inspiration. I create out of necessity, my art reflects my journey, its steps, inner life...

Creating mainly from within, I often come face to face with emptiness. These moments are difficult, but they are the beginning of something new. I create by staring into my own fear, each time I feel the urge to take another step. I take that step because I cannot repeat patterns. This is how I understand the act of creation. It means that among the images that want to be painted by me, there are many different subjects and styles, and I hope I always have enough courage to be surprised by what wants to be expressed. I take winding, uncomfortable paths. I do not walk the same path because, although it is more difficult, it is more interesting. I hope you will become my friend and companion on this journey.

'I think that if artists were allowed to choose their own labels, most of them would choose none.'
Ben Shahn

'The painting does not come from the easel. It comes from the soul of the artist. The painting has its own life. I am just trying to let it come through.'
Jackson Pollock

I have been painting and drawing since I can remember.

12 years of private education in drawing and painting, and completed studies at two universities in art fields: the Music Academy in Kraków (Harp) and Adam Mickiewicz University (Interactive Media and Performance).

Beyond education, I value the journey, imagination, and the transformation that the creative act brings, as well as those moments when the work—regardless of its medium—expresses itself through the artist.

'Art is the path to being spiritual.'
Piet Mondrian

'Creation does not occur through intellect but through the play instinct, which stems from an inner need. The creative mind plays with objects it loves.'
Carl Gustav Jung

'Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.'
Pablo Picasso
