Artist Statement:
I am a painter of colours,
quantum physical theories,
human faces and bodies, and
stories from my own
imagination.
It is a fact that I think that
our existence in a
philosophical/cosmic sense is
senseless. Compared to the
history and the dimension of
the universe we humans are
nothing. Because of that we
shouldn’t take ourselves so
damn seriously. If we could do
this our lives would be 100%
more tolerable. Our lives are
also often very difficult, too
harsh to be taken seriously.
This does not mean that we
should not respect this world
and the creatures that live in
this world. I try to express
this persona l philosophy in
my paintings and my writing.
I have lived in several
countries with different
political systems; diverse
cultures, different languages,
peoples, and landscapes and
that fact has had a big
influence on my development
and growth a human being.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I was born with the talent to paint. I have been always interested in art, architecture, buildings, in the beauty.
When I was, just a little girl and people asked me, what do you want to be when you grow up? I often answered a Dreamer. But I also wanted to be a Pirate or an Adventurer. At the age of 6 a 7 I had an another wish about my destination (ambition) I wished to be a genius, a painter, a drawer, an engineer, an constructor and an inventor like Leonardo da Vinci.
And so it was that I become an artist.

Experiences:
My first experience as a working artist took place during a three month period in Austria, after I graduated as a Master in Philology and then left Poland. As a vagabond I moved from one to another of the beautiful villages and small towns in Austria. I painted the Pubs, Inns, Hotels, Restaurants, Villas and interesting buildings and sold the results to the owners, tourists and passers-by. I didn't expect that I could make such a lot of money! I had enough to stay in local hotels, dining every night in pubs or restaurants, to buy new painting paraphernalia, to travel and to have fun. The summer that year was hot and sunny. The views were magnificent, and so were the food and the wines. The people were willing to pay good money for my water colours and I have to admit that my first experience of being a working artist wasn't so bad.
I have painted my whole life but I never made a full-time occupation of being an artist. However, from 2003 I have spent most of my time painting and writing, and I regularly publish my poems (including several radio interviews and my own poetry readings). I am a member of the BBK in the Netherlands (Professional Union for Visual Artists.) and the DAN in UK.
