Born in 1979 in Warsaw, Poland. I am a queer artist working through the media of drawing, illustration, sculpture and installation art. I live and work in London. I have exhibited widely nationally and internationally since 2003, when I graduated from the University of Northumbria in Newcastle where I was awarded my Masters in Fine Art with distinction. I focus on studio practice, research, exhibiting and curating. Commercially I work as an illustrator.
My practice is rooted in drawing and the forming of numerous representations of urban environments. I also create sculptures and installations from found materials as extensions of ideas that inform my two dimensional based pieces.
In June/July 2021 I successfully completed an art residency at The Margate school followed by a solo exhibition "A Place In-Between" at the Old Primark Building in Margate.
In 2019 I successfully curated, delivered and participated in a group exhibition ‘CITYISLAND’ at the Silver Building, London. The same year I was commissioned 192 new drawings for The Hoxton hotel collection in London. I also completed 45 commissioned illustrations for ‘Eat What You Saw’ book by Alys Fowler, published by Kyle Books, April 2021. My artwork installation "You Will Never Sleep Again" is featured in ‘The Word is Art’ book, Michael Petry, Thames & Hudson 2018.
Between 2010/2013 I successfully delivered three solo exhibitions: ’Welcome to Paradise III’ Fundacja Sztuczna, Warsaw, Poland. ‘Welcome to Paradise II’, Crima’rt Gallery, Milan (Funded by the British Council Travel Grant). ‘Welcome to Paradise I’, PayneShurvell Gallery, London (Supported by The Polish Cultural Institute).
In 2012/2013 I successfully completed an artist in residency program and large scale commission for the Vital Arts/Barts NHS Trust at The Royal London Hospital. Engaging with my audience via workshops and talks. Working with Whitechapel youth community with a focus on LGBTQI+ individuals.
