An artist and graphic designer originally from Grudziądz, currently living and working in Warsaw. A graduate of the Graphic Arts program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She defended her master’s thesis, “Habitat,” in November 2025 with honors (a grade of “excellent”) in the Studio of Conceptual and Intermedia Graphic Arts under the supervision of Prof. Andrzej Węcławski and Dr. Kamil Zaleski. The thesis also included a painting annex titled “Unity,” supervised by Prof. Henryk Gostyński and Dr. Stanisław Wójcik, as well as a theoretical paper supervised by Dr. Aleksander Zbrzeźny. Recipient of the Rector’s Scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw for academic and artistic achievements during the 2024–2025 academic year. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout the country and is currently featured in a solo exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She focuses primarily on painting and printmaking, often blending various techniques and blurring the lines between them. Both her prints and her paintings on canvas contain many layers and meanings. She treats her art somewhat like a personal diary, and the world she creates within it serves as a reflection of her own emotions. Her master’s thesis, “Habitat,” and the accompanying theoretical work explore the themes of humanity’s place in the world, its relationship with nature, and the fate of nature in urban spaces. These works stem from the artist’s profound sensitivity to nature—its beauty, but also its degradation and suffering. Her art revolves around the theme of nature and humanity within it—both the human psyche and the human body. It also serves as the artist’s personal diary and a projection of her own emotions, visions, and memories.
