biography
Diploma in the screen printing workshop, Faculty of Arts, University of Zielona Góra. In my work, the dominant graphic techniques are: screen printing and etching. I like to use strong contours, as well as condensed dots and lines, which I usually combine with spots of strong coloring. I implement projects inspired largely by the atmosphere of dreams and the absurdity of situations and characters. I pay great attention to create various interactions between them.
Number of individual exhibitions 4; Number of group exhibitions – 4.
self-commentary
I have been interested in the sense of unrealness for a long time. I wanted to create works that were a distorted reflection of reality, in which similarities to elements of the authentic world are felt. I fragmented objects from my surroundings and body parts, which then evolved in a form reminiscent of animals and people. Then I gave the shapes I accidentally noticed a completely different meaning. I treated their outlines as a suggestion to reveal hidden content that is only emerging at the moment of spontaneous creation. It was a process of forming a new visual plane that was emerging from a sudden impulse. I let the resulting forms evolve and take on a new character. Important for her initial appearance was the first moment of observation, in which I treated each subsequent step as an irreversible change.
My discovery of the screen printing technique caused me to use intense colors. I used colors that refer to nature as well as corporeality. I strived for all the performances to contain an element that marked the presence of man. Each screen printing went through stages of deformation until it reached the moment when it became a visualization close to the psychedelic vision of the world. The images shown are filled with imaginations that redraw reality. Reality and seeming are contradictory phenomena that intertwine in them.
