Ewelina Straszewicz

I have been drawing and painting since childhood. The real passion was born in high school, then subsided for a dozen or so years, only to return with full force. I have been intensively developing my skills for several years. I spend every free moment painting plein air, which is a source of many inspirations and learning to draw topics directly from nature. In 2021, I graduated with honors from one-year postgraduate studies in Painting and Drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. My current studies at the Faculty of Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw are a great challenge, but also a great satisfaction from the opportunity to improve my skills and learn new painting and graphic techniques.

​

I am fascinated by contemporary art in all its diversity and complexity of directions, styles and forms, but I also love naive artists who paint from the heart, with whom I identify. They tell their stories in their own way, often in a fabulous and colorful way. After all, the inspiration is nature itself, delightful in its diversity and unusual forms. The coexistence between people and animals and the bond that is created between them is a frequent theme of her works.

​

It is a great joy for me that my paintings find home...
