Olka Cała - born in 1983 in Siedlce, a painter living and working in Wroclaw. In 2017, she graduated with honors from postgraduate studies at the Eugeniusz Geppert Faculty of Painting at the Wrocław Academy of Fine Arts in the studio of Prof. Leszek Mickos. In 2017-2018, she perfected her technique by attending painting classes in the studio of Dr. Krzysztof Walaszek. For more than a dozen years, she has been passionately creating painting compositions based mainly on moodiness and expression of emotions. Her favorite technique is oil painting, but she also creates in her own technique, mixed media and watercolor. The subjects of her paintings are mainly flowers, trees, people and landscapes shown in an abstract way. She boldly experiments with composition and color looking for new means of expression. Her goal is to show viewers the phenomena experienced by humans communing with nature, which are difficult to describe in words. She has participated in more than a dozen group and solo exhibitions.
