Kashka
Vranken

Inspired at a young age by the atmospheric black and white photography of Akira Kurosawa films, Kashka Vranken, originally from Poland, now focuses her digital camera on the mesmerising nature in her adopted home of Australia.

Working primarily with the macro lens enables her to tune into and highlight the correlation between the minute and immense, which she deems essential to humanities understanding and appreciation of the universe and its creation. Through her ability to abstract and subvert the elements of nature, she hopes to inspire others to look beyond and see the connection between the diverse realms of nature, and in doing so become much more sensitive towards the future of our planet.

After graduating with a BA from Central Saint Martins (previously known as Central School of Art) in London and an MA from Warsaw Academy of Art, Kashka followed a career of teaching art in Sydney at TAFE where she was able to inspire her students to engage in the world of photography. 

She continues to be influenced by the classic works of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. 

Her work has been exhibited in Berlin, Warsaw, Lodz, Narewka and Sydney with several pieces kept in private collections in both Australia and Europe.

She is currently working towards collating her life work in a series devoted to the significant aspects of Earth’s creation.
