mixed media, collage; all elements of the work are sewn onto a linen background and reinforced with cardboard on the reverse; 32 x 42 cm (framed); signed on the reverse

Born on April 16, 1971, in Świętochłowice. She is an artist without formal art training who has a great passion for craftsmanship. The artist sews unique patchwork paintings and tapestries from a variety of linen and cotton fabrics. She paints and embroiders the sewn forms, and stuffs some sections with soft down, creating an interesting 3D effect. Threads hanging beyond the edges of the pieces add a sense of lightness.
Her works are like Mail Art; the depth of the message conveyed through their thematic content is key, and the precise embroidery becomes a message for the viewer.
