The artist, born on September 30, 1999 in Turek, graduated from the National High School of Fine Arts in Koscielec and the University of Arts in Poznan. Already in 2018, she participated in the National Painting Plein-Air in Rychwale, which was a prelude to her further creative path at the Faculty of Painting and Drawing at UAP. In 2022, she defended her bachelor's degree with distinction, and two years later received her master's degree in painting, also with a very good grade. Her artistic output includes eight exhibitions, including solo presentations such as Latent Emotions and Comfort zone at Nad Schodami gallery, an exhibition at Lotna gallery, Inconsistencies at Wiele Sztuki gallery, as well as participation in Deformations, You Are and Digital Bodies projects. Three times, between 2022 and 2024, her works qualified for exhibitions and catalogs of the Figurama international figurative drawing competition. As an initiator of academic life, in 2023 she founded the scientific circle Defiguration, within the framework of which she organizes exhibitions, workshops and foreign research trips. In 2025 she held an artist residency in Genk, Belgium, organized by Mad Gallery, which culminated in an exhibition titled Bestiary at Le Charbonnage.
