I am a Polish artist based in Ankara, Turkiye. My practice moves between painting and thread, bringing these two approaches into a shared visual language.
I work with transparent materials, building depth through layering and allowing light and movement to become integral to the work. Through thread and dimensional stitches, my works move beyond the flat surface and gain depth.
My process is intuitive and deeply personal. I explore themes of fragility, presence, transience, depth, intuition, and rootedness.
Living abroad for many years, I reflect on questions of belonging and grounding, which appear in my work both conceptually and materially.
