Acrylics on micro cement,130x90,

I have been painting since I was very young. Most often I choose acrylic paints, structural paints, cement and charcoal. I prefer large formats, on which a multitude of details, textures and chiaroscuro intertwine to create compositions of considerable size. I like grays, shades of black and white, so I use them most often in my paintings. However, I do not shy away from vivid colors and hues, which can also be found in my work to date. I use structural paints, cement-based masses to give my paintings an individual character.The leitmotif in my paintings are women, often depicted in a slightly surreal space. I perfected my technique in the studio of Prof. Leszek Knaflewski at the Institute of Visual Arts of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Zielona Gora, where I graduated with honors in painting and interior design.
I invite you to a world where femininity, mystery and subtlety combine to create my individual interpretation of beauty.
