I’ve been creating something since I was a kid, and this process still accompanies me today. I do not clench myself into the clutches of styles or trends. I love every variant of art, both to admire and to create. Creating has always been a therapy for me for bad days, sorrows and those worse moments in life, and it has always helped.
Is it necessary to graduate from an art college to paint? No! Although I used to think that only with a diploma can you call yourself an Artist. To have your own studio, do you need to have 50m2, a huge amount of excess cash and a predetermined purpose for which it is to serve? No! Do I have to cooperate with a gallery to sell my work? It would be great and I believe that someday I will see my acrylics in a gallery showcase, but the answer is no! Do I have to collect works for years in order to organize an opening, have thousands in my account for selling paintings? No! There are plenty of such questions, and I have the answer to many of them, and I’m still looking for the rest. As in my passion and in myself.
Since childhood I dreamed of having my own studio, I did it! I leased a room on the 11th floor overlooking the Warsaw City, and I loved this place at first sight. For 3 years in the colorful asylum I have been “arting”. My works hang on the walls of people both in Poland and abroad. Each time I am sent a photo of a picture hanging on the wall invariably moves me. Someone hosts a piece of their space to hang something I created there, isn’t that wonderful? There have been several vernissages and in my head are born ideas for more, but no longer only mine, but also those I want to “infect” with it.
I’ve had my dream list for years, crossing something off (a studio, for example), but also adding new items, and one of them, psst – I’ll only reveal to you, is a workshop space for people with whom I want to share a passion, infect and create together.
The goal and the pursuit of it – that’s what drives you to act. Despite many years of working in corporations, I want to prove that we don’t have to live like that at all. Why not combine passion with work and feel that you are doing what you love? I want to share my passion with others, in many different ways.
Why stitching? Because I am still searching in art and still stitching with it.
