ARTIST STATEMENT

“What I dream of is an art of balance, purity and serenity devoid from troubling or depressing subject matter… a soothing, calming influence on the mind, something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.”

- Henri Matisse

I am under a spell of the Australian landscape. I look around, I try to memorise everything what strikes my imagination on the spot – the light, the colour, the texture, I store these elements in me. Then I paint from what I remembered. The feelings about the landscape become transformed.

BIOGRAPHY

My artistic journey began at the National School of Fine Arts and continued on to the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.  I graduated with honours from Interior Architecture in 1988. In 1990, love sent me migrating to Australia and starting a family. I have had opportunities to work on interior design projects and drafting over the years and now after so many  years of study, work and busy home life, I can finally say I have arrived at my dream destination. In March 2012 I opened own art studio and took up painting. After a long break , when I couldn’t pursue artistically I believe that I am once again at the beginning of the road , which I deviated more than 10 years ago.
I live and work in Melbourne, Victoria
