Arctic landscape Norway Europe # 1 Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

"I was born in Poland and have lived in Great Britain for most of my adult life. I graduated from the Royal School of Fine Arts and pursued a career as a full-time artist with a passion for photography. I led painting and photography workshops for beginners, covering a wide range of topics from Aboriginal-inspired painting to night photography. I draw inspiration from the world around me with a particular fondness for the Nordic and Scandinavian countries, having fallen in love with the Northern Lights and their breath taking landscapes. I enjoyed travelling and photographing all the beautiful places in the world. I fell ill with ME/CFS in 2022, and my health declined significantly. I could no longer create art in the same ways or with the frequency I once did. Today, I rely on social services to aid with daily activities. I still try to create when my energy allows, even if long periods pass between my works." "As my health has worsened, it has become harder to muster the words to describe my work. I can say that I’ve always loved colour — the more, the better. Painting with black, white, and gray colours has always made me a bit scared because I grew up in communist Poland, which was terribly gray, drab and gloomy , colour was my escape from the reality on the streets. I created this collection of paintings over a year ago, in 2024, when I felt a bit better and had more strength than I do today."
