I spent my childhood and part of my youth in Poland and now live between Switzerland and France.


I grew up in the studio of a painter who was a close friend of my parents, and I've been painting ever since I was a child.
Painting soon became an essential part of my life, while at the same time studying at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, where I studied art history, philosophy, pedagogy and the management of cultural institutions.

For the past 7 years, I have devoted myself exclusively to painting. Part of my work is figurative, exploring the links between space and femininity. I paint images that leave aside the psychology of my subject and leave the interpretation of the story to the viewer.
 
The painting then becomes a playground where the interactions between the body and the scenery are used as symbols

Painting outside is also a great lesson in humility for me. Trained in part by Marc Dalessio,

 

this great landscape master "tries to let nature repaint itself without any obvious intrusion of personality or ego."

Today, abstraction has taken on a major role and represents a new sequence in my work.

 

My mental images are translated very quickly, so that I free my mind and my gaze, far from the control of hand and brush.

 

Close to automatic writing techniques and linked to space and the power of colour, this stance allows me to approach more intimate frequencies of perception and draw inspiration from the sensitive resources of my personal life and times.
