Patrycja Whipp

Patrycja's art has evolved over the years during her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland. Her work is inspired by nature in all its forms. Her paintings often represent personal, psychological feelings and struggle between man and nature. Earlier works often refer to tribal influences and pop art.

She often uses mixed media, including collage technique. In the past couple of years she found herself experimenting with textures and materials such as glass, wax and fibre-glass, creating three dimensional effects. Her great inspirations have been American abstract expressionists, mainly Jackson Pollock and Sam Francis.

"My creativity resembles a growing tree about life. It has many single branches searching for new means of expression and new values. Through art picture of my feelings and experiences transformed by my consciousness, giving different synthetic form – abstract dimension".

Patrycja obtained a Master's Degree in Graphic Design and Honours in visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw.
