Path and Inspiration
Growing up in communist Poland, my everyday life was underpinned and surrounded by stark, grey concrete structures – brutal, imposing, but unavoidable. This architecture was raw, substantial and woven into the history and fabric of the country and my upbringing.
My work finds its foundations in that world, drawing from the same rawness but seeking beauty in the simplicity of form. It’s an aesthetic born of opposites, where darkness meets light, rough meets smooth and drabness conceals drama.Process and Practice
Simplicity, minimalism and tactility are the most important aspects of my aesthetics. From a distance, my work can appear quiet. It is only when one gets closer, when one touches and holds my piece that they get to see the detail, feel the texture, experience the surfaces.
Most of my work is wheel thrown using black rough clay and decorated with various techniques including sgraffitto, monoprinting, inlay.
