Artists

Graduated with honours in Graphic Design from the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. In her daily life, she works with illustration, graphics, painting, graphic design and conducts various types of classes and art workshops. She does not limit herself to one way of expression, which is particularly evident in her degree piece; she has created a now-published and award-winning board game, Minerals, which combines the artistic character of graphics with design. The graphics in the game were done in watercolour, despite her many preferences, but watercolour is the closest to her heart in the subject of illustration. Her main source of inspiration is the world around her, and above all nature. Whether it is a trip to the end of Europe or a walk in a nearby forest, a moment of pause, observing the beauty of the world around us, sometimes even in the smallest imperceptible things, is an endless inspiration for her. In her free time, she takes care of her ever-growing collection of over a hundred plants. She practices yoga and other physical activities, which can mainly take place in nature.

I work in illustration and painting, most often taking inspiration from ancient engravings and classical art. My great passion is writing literary texts and delving into the history of ancient medicine. Despite my introverted nature, I work as an English teacher and am an active volunteer for an animal rescue organisation, specialising in the care of disabled cats. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, department of graphic design, intaglio studio.

I am a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. For many years, nature and biology, in particular microphotography, have served as a source of artistic inspiration for me. When I look through microscope photographs, I search for fanciful patterns and structures, which I then try to translate into my own language by means of drawing, graphics and illustration. My works are full of unusual forms and artistic solutions. Each piece could be a separate work of art. Details and particulars create a unique and inimitable abstract world, evoking something distant and inaccessible. It's amazing how many beautiful things nature can create and we don't realise it. It is enough to stop and look around to see how wonderful our world can be. The micro-world around us is an endless source of creative inspiration.

A young, talented and not particularly angry artist - that's me. In my illustrations, as in my tattoos, I am inspired by medieval engravings or prints. In my posters, in turn, I am inspired by masters such as Waldemar Swierzy, Roman Kalarus or Koichi Sato.

Painter and illustrator with a background in architecture. Her paintings create a magical and unique atmosphere. In her artistic predilections, Maggie is associated with the image of the woman. Maggie's work, which falls within the Art Nouveau aesthetic of contradictions, is a combination of the vision of the woman of the "art nouveau" period with the contemporary surrealist vision of the female body - placed in the melancholic envelope of a fairy-tale dream. Her genre of art, which she calls "sexure graphics", is characterised by a peculiar mannerism leading to a unique and recognisable style. She exhibits her paintings in Poland and abroad. She has had over 70 solo exhibitions and participated in art events at home and abroad. Maggie Piu's paintings can be found in private collections all over the world.

Coming from an artistic family where the passion for creation has always been present, I knew that in life I wanted to express myself through art as well. My years of study at the School of Visual Arts and Dlugosz Academy gave me the inspiration for further artistic pursuits. After graduating from Chelsea College of Art and Design, I also took up interior design, and it became my passion for many years. Creating functional beauty in every form still remains the motto in my design office. I have exhibited my work in Poland and abroad in over 70 exhibitions. I have collaborated with galleries in New York, Madrid and London. I am happy to say that my works are in many private collections at home and abroad (London, South Africa, France, Norway, NY, Italy). Currently, I am designing interiors and objects and I am also painting.
I am particularly fond of the mixmedia technique. Decorativeness, power of expression, variety of forms, techniques, vividness of colours, gilding, large formats, symbolism, the use of reliefs and spatial forms. I use these means to influence the viewer. I want to stop them for a moment, provoke them, give them an impulse, tear them away from the mundane. For me, creation is a continuous dance of matter, colours, forms, symbols, a dialogue with myself as well as with the observer/viewer. In the last two years, curatorial and collective activities have also become close to me. Artistic projects, performances, combining the arts, including innovative multimedia. Almost two years ago, I created the Helisa Foundation, which has become an international platform for joint artistic activities and the promotion of other artists. Recently, I have had the pleasure of curating dozens of individual artists' exhibitions as well as larger collective projects, such as "Manufaktura Rzeź". I have recently had the pleasure of curating several dozen individual exhibitions and larger collective projects, such as Manufaktura Rzeźby, a collective exhibition of several dozen sculptors, installations, spatial forms and multimedia, as well as the 7 Senses Art Project, a collective exhibition combining all types of art (painting, sculpture, installation, dance, music, multimedia, performance).
The words "He who binds himself to the stars does not retreat" by Leonardo da Vinci are particularly close to my heart, reminding me of the importance of constant development and creative exploration.

Dominik Jasiński - born 81, comes from Rzeszów, lives and works in Portugal. Painter, graphic artist, author of drawings, book and magazine illustrations, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (Graphics Faculty). The artist collaborates with a number of companies and institutions (EMPIK, RESERVED, TATUUM, DAGMA ART, WASOWSCY Publishing House, ArtSpace Q8), the originator and curator of the Jasinski&friends exhibition series. His work was published in the 100th issue of British VOGUE (June 2016). Actively supports charity auctions and initiatives promoting Poland in the world. Author of dozens of solo exhibitions in Poland and abroad. The main motif of the artist's works is the woman. Both in portrait and more erotic terms. Jasiński's portraits are often intertwined with floral motifs, and show influences from the Secession and Young Poland. They are also characterised by a bold use of colour, which the artist operates masterfully. With a strong and confident line and anatomical knowledge of the human body, Jasiński's works catch the eye and are firmly set on the canvas plane, hardly ephemeral. Using strong, often contrasting colours side by side, Jasinski serves the viewer a portrait of a self-confident and somewhat predatory woman. Folk motifs - not only Polish, but also taken from other cultures - also appear frequently.

I deal with art in theory and practice. I am a computer graphic designer by training, but I express myself most fully through easel painting. I graduated with a degree in art history, which helped me to fall in love with contemporary art. I am inspired by baroque architecture and fine literature, but also by modern means of expression, such as body art and video art. I am also a qualified make-up artist and I work in the film and theatre industry on a daily basis. In my spare time I love to sculpt, crochet and even more eagerly paint.

I am Anna, I do artistic wall painting and classical easel painting. Loving to create paintings inspired by nature, and the nature around me. I was born and grew up in Kyiv. Art is my way of communicating with the world, through my works I want to make it even more beautiful. I draw inspiration from architecture, travel, art through which I am full of creative energy and want to share it with the world.

I am an illustrator. I've been drawing as a hobby since I was a child, and watercolour is my new love, which has blossomed into a full-time job in no time. I mainly create children's illustrations, but botanicals are equally close to my heart. I take inspiration from the surrounding nature and old illustrated atlases. In my spare time I do housework, create decorations, decorate ceramics, sew and read.

I am a graphic designer and illustrator who has been working in the industry as a freelancer for years. I love cinema and art, I graduated from Film Studies at Jagiellonian University in Krakow and Graphic Design at Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. In addition to design, I'm primarily involved in illustration and concept art, I'm also interested in screen printing with which I create a mini series of letterpress prints in my small studio. I spend my free time either off-road, as befits an off-road fan, or under a blanket with a novel, like any true bookworm.

I've been interested in creating art since I was a child. I graduated from the High School of Fine Arts in Wodzisław Śląski. I am also a graduate of Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. I have received the rector's scholarship for outstanding students several times. In design, I specialize in visual information and illustration. I mainly draw inspiration from nature. In my design work, I am most eager to engage with social themes and create patterns. In my spare time, I enjoy using watercolors and spending time with loved ones.

I am a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice at the Faculty of Graphic Design. I graduated from Fine Arts High School with honours. I create illustrations and graphic design. Through illustration, I create multicoloured worlds in which one can immerse oneself, see another reality. In my projects I strive to achieve an intriguing form of communication. At the moment, I am mum to little Stasio and I enjoy watching children's curiosity, which gives me extraordinary inspiration to create
