Bio / Statement

Born in 1993. Graduate of the Secondary School of Fine Arts in Zielona Góra (2009–2013) and the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design, Faculty of Ceramics and Glass Art (2013–2018). Participant in the Erasmus+ program at Diatehnon Studio in Cyprus (2018–2019). Recipient of scholarships from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (2022) and the National Recovery Plan for Culture (2024 and 2025). Member of the Food Think Tank collective.

“I am fascinated by ancient culture and art, especially from the civilizations of Sumer, Pharaonic Egypt, and the period of early Christianity in the Middle East. My artistic practice intertwines motifs of temples, figures, jewelry, and ritual objects. I draw inspiration from the mythology of long-lost worlds and sacred texts, discovering in them connections to contemporary life.

My works are created in thematic collections, each relating to subjects that are important to me — whether it is the practice of yoga, a love of nature and its structures, femininity and its perception throughout history, or music as a carrier of emotions and tradition, connecting the sacred spheres of the visual, aural, and the spiritual, together forming a kind of mystery.

The main media of my artistic practice are ceramics and painting. Each of my works is unique.’’
