mixed media (acrylic, metallic paint), canvas, 70 x 100 cm, signed lower right: Sandecka-Ląkpcy'26

Born in 1970. A graduate of the Faculty of Arts at UMCS in Lublin (graphic arts, sculpture) and the Teacher Training College of Foreign Languages in Puławy (English language and literature). She runs the Author’s Gallery in Puławy and teaches at a private school.

For several years, she collaborated with educational publishers, including WSiP and PWN, working on illustrations and preparing books for print.

In her painting, she primarily uses oil and acrylic paints, working with both a brush and a palette knife. She draws inspiration primarily from nature—spring and summer meadows full of light and color, but also from autumn landscapes, where grays intermingle with reddish hues, reds, and browns. Landscapes and plants in their natural habitats serve as an inspiration for her not only to capture forms but also to reflect on the transience of life and the vanitas motif.

Among the subjects of her work are also people—nudes and portraits—as well as animals, birds, and butterflies. The artist’s paintings are held in private collections in Poland and abroad.
