Biography
Student at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, Faculty of Painting. Participant of group exhibitions such as: "Łapiduchy" (Curators'Lab Gallery, Poznań, 2026), "Traces, which were not to be" (Museum of Soldiers Wyklętych and Political Prisoners of the Polish People's Republic, Warsaw, 2025), "Affect" (Prześwit Foundation, Warsaw, 2025). Individual exhibitions: "Where the Surface Softens" (Karrot, Warsaw, 2026), "Silent Painting" (MOK Art Salon, Legionowo, 2023). Her work is based on the analysis of subtle gestures and relationships in which everyday life reveals its unobvious, often disturbing side. Through motifs of the body and deformed matter, she undermines the stability of what is familiar and safe, showing the world as a space of constant negotiation of boundaries and the search for fixed and unchanging values. She explores a reality in which meanings remain fluid and experience is never closed. She herself treats her paintings as the testament of a vigilant observer - perverse, putting everything into question.
