"I capture the essence of these ordinary moments and reflect the unfiltered reality of life."

Growing up in Poland, I was shaped by a land of contrasts — political and social issues intertwined with moments of profound simplicity. Through these experiences, I developed a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected and ordinary places.

My art is an extension of this journey, capturing the essence of these ordinary moments and reflecting the unfiltered reality of life. By focusing on the simple, often overlooked aspects of daily existence, I aim to reveal the quiet strength and raw beauty that lie within them. My work is not just about representation; it's about finding meaning in the mundane, celebrating the authenticity of life, and offering a perspective that resonates with the resilience and subtle grace found in every corner of our world.

For a time, I focused my art on the female body as part of my personal journey. I aimed to rediscover myself and shift my perspective on beauty. For years, I’ve been struggling with body image, trying to conform to societal expectations. I needed to find love for any body I might be in, and to achieve this, I painted diverse female forms. Through this process, I discovered my own path to empowerment.
