BIO: I am Polish artist (b.1986), currently living and working (Wellington Studios) in Manchester, UK Winner of Ken Billany Prize 2013 the 2020 Manchester Open Granada Foundation Award I graduated in 2013, at Manchester Metropolitan University from BA Fine Art. My works had been exhibited internationally, included London, New York, Berlin, Raleigh (North Carolina) and Manchester. STATEMENT: My paintings depict uncanny spaces, some of which are populated with strange forms. In places, we can find organic shapes, animal parts or plant life; other elements are architectural, geometric or purely abstract. My influences come from many sources including the work of 20th century Avant-garde artists and our everyday environments. As an artist I am interested in how we might draw imagery back from our subconscious and to what extent we can visualise or represent our unconscious thoughts. Perhaps as a result of this, the forms and spaces in my work are imbued with a sense of a deeper dimension; of something lurking beneath the surface.
