I am a French-Polish artist living
and working in Marseille, France.
Born
in 1975, I grew up in Poland, in the era of transformation of the political
system.
In
2002 I obtained my Masters of Art diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łòdź,
Poland, and was a grand-holder of the French government that allowed me to
study at the Aix-en-Provence Art School and obtain a diploma in 2005.
My early influences were the
constructivists from the 30's, artists and architects like Katarzyna Kobro,
Władyslaw Strzemiński, Kazimierz Malewicz, Aleksander Rodczenko, but also
groups The Stijl and Bauhaus.
My
future investment in the questioning of the nature of space and its perception,
by searching for a convergence between images and three-dimensional objects had
already announced itself by my early fascination for the work of Elsworth
Kelly, Sol Le Witt, Frank Stella or David Tremlett.
A
residency at Art School in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2000 and a stay in London, UK,
in 2001 let me discover, among others, Tony's Cragg sculptures oscillating
between an abstraction and a kind of figuration remaining in it, and the
sculptural and graphic work of Eduardo Chillida.
Since
then I exhibit regularly in France and abroad, among others at Celio Factory,
Londres; Transmitter Gallery, NY; Musée Regards de Provence, Marseille; Mia Art
Gallery, Wrocław; New B Gallery, Shanghai. My work is represented by La
Feronnerrie Gallery in Paris.
