Joanna Pongowska

I am a graduate of the Faculty of Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, MFA diploma with rector's distinction in the Graphic Design and Poster Studio. I create abstract paintings, collages and graphics. Color is my main tool, as well as contrasting tangled graphic elements. My art is inspired by nature and it’s dynamics of shapes and colors but it also resonates my need for positive vibrations, and most likely reflects some musical sounds that echoes from my long time period of a life of a pianist.

My style has evolved towards abstraction. I work in series. Recently a significant place in my portfolio of inspirations is occupied by Polish folk art of the Łowicz region. My mediums of choice are at the moment acrylic paints on canvas and on paper.
