I am a mixed-media artist whose oeuvre encompasses painting, digital photography and object-making. My studio is on Paros island and since 2021, I have been a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts Greece.

I was born in Warsaw, raised in Milan, and lived & worked in London for a decade. Having spent my formative years in Italy, I was exposed to the energy of the Mediterranean landscapes & natural phenomena from a very early age. With time, a cherished childhood memory evolved into a methodic art practice rooted in a passionate approach to landscape.

In 2010, after graduating from Chelsea College of Art and Design, I moved my studio to the Greek islands; Skyros, Andros, Mykonos and finally Paros, leaving the hustle and bustle of the London metropolis behind.

In the Cyclades, I feel at home the most. I relish the daily, direct contact with Nature, which nurtures my well-being and artistic process. Sourcing materials directly from the land and working plein air is the ultimate essential simplicity I aspire to as an artist.

Collaborations

With my friend the British sculptor Cat Vitebsky, we founded Paros Creatives, and we showcased Topos Embodied: Beauty Constructs and Female Landscape”at the Museum of Classical Archeology (MOCA) at Cambridge University, UK.

Since 2021, I have been supporting, the Ronald McDonald Foundation in Poland by donating paintings to charitable auctions and helping to raise funds for housing the families of long-term hospitalised children who are patients at the Children’s Clinical Hospital, UCK WUM in Warsaw.
