Born in 1959. She has lived in Warsaw her entire life. She holds a Ph.D. in law. Her passion is painting, which allows her to recreate the surrounding world through images, colors, and their shades. Her work is inspired by the places she has visited, space, and the diversity of flora. That is why the most common themes in her work are landscapes and nature. Her work is not a photographic or realistic depiction, but rather one that emerges from time, place, and form. Real places take on new meaning and a new dimension, where a captured moment of reality merges with the projection of emotions. This leads to a personalized portrayal of the surrounding world. She also draws upon her imagination in her creative process. He hopes that the viewer will pause for a moment—perhaps a little longer—and reflect on the diversity and charm of the landscape and nature as perceived by the senses, the changing shapes and intensity of intertwining colors, or the hazy mystery. It is essential to use the painting to see and discover unknown or previously overlooked aspects of reality and to focus on its transience through the chosen form of expression. Her favorite painting technique is oil painting. Using this technique allows her to interpret the world as it is—or as she would like to portray it—through a broad palette of colors and their interplay. Acrylic painting is equally important to her. She honed her craft at the Open Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Her works are held in private collections. She has participated in group and solo exhibitions.
