Katarzyna Robert-Stefura

My name is Katarzyna Robert-Stefura and I create art. You can find me on the internet under the username Spooky Scary Art. Through the medium of art, I can express myself, which brings me relief from the misunderstanding of my surroundings.

For the last few years my head has been ruled by drawing and singing

Since I was little, I have been surrounding myself with art and music in practically any form. I’ve been interested in witchcraft, fantasy, and various mythologies, which have had a major impact on my art. I also like gothic atmosphere, insects, horror, and plants.

I’m also a home bird, but I love walking in the forest. I graduated from the State School of Music I st. in Świebodzin, in the cello class. During my junior high school years, I performed in the musicals of the theatre and music group ‘Zespół’, also in Świebodzin, as a vocalist. They were “Dwa Serduszka”, “Jasio Jeżyk. Niebajka” and “Opowieść nakręcanych zabawek”. While in highschool I began working on my voice more seriously. I practised under the eye of vocalist Katarzyny Pusowskiej in Zielona Góra. After graduating from high school, in a class with an artistic profile, I turned my steps towards Wrocław to the School of Modern Music, more specifically to a singing class. Vocalists Pola Chobot and Magda “Mapa” Pasierska helped me improve my voice. I was able to participate in concerts organized by the school, which I finished in 2023.

At this moment I’m mainly doing manual art. That does not mean I’m going to abandon singing. I’m slowly creating my music and with the kind of vocal workshop that I’ve acquired, it’s easier for me. The art of tattooing has intrigued me ever since I met a tattooed person for the first time. Since I turned 18, I have “accumulated” quite a few tattoos. My tattoo style is mainly original, but I also draw from illustration style, sketches, linework and dotwork. I also write with my handwriting, gothic, machine font and custom made sigils. I have been tattooing clients and myself for over a year. Currently, I’m looking for a studio where I can work.

I am a late-diagnosed autistic, which means that for many years I struggled with myself and the world around me. It’s very hard for me to say something quickly without stuttering. I want to show that autistics can also do what they like and can make money from it despite having a more uphill battle in a world that is not geared for neurodiverse people (although this is slowly changing). I like what I’m doing very much. I can’t imagine myself not creating. For me, this not only has a material (work) dimension, but also a therapeutic and spiritual one.

My areas of creative activity are:

Manual art:

  • drawing
  • tattoo
  • prints and stickers
  • wood burning

Music:

  • singing
  • writing lyrics
  • playing on a guitar

I tattoo my pre-made designs and individual projects. I sell stickers, prints and wood I take commissions for individual portraits made in my style.

“Moving forward’ doesn’t always mean ‘making progres’.”
