bio
I was born in Rybnik, Poland in 1982. I am a visual artist and art curator. I express myself in various media like: painting, performing, site-specific installations, public and media art. My work combine exquisite craftsmanship with conceptual and spiritual inquiries inspired by nature, history of particular place, mythology, magic, folklore, dreams and patterns. I also work as a freelance curator collaborating with Bielska Gallery BWA in Bielsko-Biała in Poland where I initiated and curate a Beyond Time Artist-in-Residence program, organized by the gallery since 2011. I am also curating exhibitions, workshops, outdoor art, giving lectures and presentations. I received MFA at the Dutch Art Institute, ArtEZ in Enschede, the Netherlands (2008-2010) and MA at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan in Poland (2002-2007). I have been awarded with several scholarships and participated in many solo and group exhibitions, Artist-in-Residence programs, workshops and lecture presentations in Poland and abroad (in Australia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, India, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and in the USA).
