ABOUT:

I am a London based Polish artist specialising in gouache painting and printmaking.
My work is largely informed by my love of folk culture; while I find it beautiful in its own right, I also believe it to be a way through which daily life can not only be explored, but also a means through which remnants of early religious practices inseparable from it have been preserved.
I interpret these practices to be animistic in nature and I see folklore as a secret language that allowed these to survive periods of strife, colonisation and proselytism.

I strive to make work that expresses qualities of beauty, awe and joy, and that speaks of the mundane as divine - themes inseparable from folk practices - while also creating a quiet, contemplative space that allows for a felt, rather an intellectual experience of my pieces within the context of folklore.

I am a member of Greenwich Printmakers Gallery and aside from dividing my time between painting and printmaking I also run monthly linocut workshops with Red Art Club in Clapham.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
