Reclaimed, 2020 acrylic, cotton dyptich 40 x 30 cm each https://www.mmcap.eu/product/19807115/reclaimed-2020 About materials and technique: Embroidery floss was bought in a local independent shop, and canvases were upcycled from cheap and illegal reproductions of "In the Car" by Roy Lichtenstein, mass-printed in China, and bought at the Polish seaside for 2 PLN each (0,47 Euro). Reaching far back to my first means of intentional visual expression, I rediscovered embroidery, a technique my grandmother taught me. When other kindergarteners used crayons, I was stitching flowers on a piece of fabric.

You’re invited to choose or change the piece of music in relation to a video clip at any time. The conscious choice of tune, when faced with a visual and the contemplation of how the two work together, is really key. Experience it for yourself: http://bit.ly/4mnI7Z6
Skóra (Skin/Leather) 2022- 2024
Visual Arts
Skóra (Skin/Leather), 2022-2024 acrylic on paper, scans of the artist’s body triptych 70 x 50 cm each, framed Skóra is an evocative triptych exploring identity, resilience, and transformation. Combining acrylic on worn-out paper with enlarged scans of the artist’s body, this 70 x 50 cm (each) series symbolizes the tension between self-perception and societal pressures. Inspired by skin as a canvas of life’s experiences and leather as a protective layer, Skóra celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the strength found in vulnerability. Dive deeper into the creative journey behind this piece by watching the artist’s research video here: https://youtu.be/WED91DjZ7uU The work premiered during Berlin Art Week in "Self" exhibition in September 2024, later shown at "Drift & Decay" in February 2025 and Culterim | Studios Show #4 in April 2025.

Unreal fortune, 2020 - ongoing air, glass, metal, paper 28 cm x 22 cm x 5,5 cm 15 000 € for an individual jar 150 000 € for the whole set Full context: https://www.mmcap.eu/unreal-fortune I’m standing in my unwavering conviction that one day, hopefully soon, a patron will find me for whom it’s not that much money. They engage with my whimsy, measure the spin of worthiness and collapse the infinity into a purchase. Overall, the work speaks about a possibly delusional hope for a big break, patience and unwavering faith.

M.M.C., 2025 Installation Dimensions site-specific Presented as graduation project at Culterim | Independent Class | Group Exhibition #1 https://www.mmcap.eu/artworks It consists of 3 layers, one physical and two non-material. The first layer uses curtains from my own apartment to create an atmosphere of intimacy in this most personal work yet. Three small works are arranged in a circle, which represent the stages of a woman’s life: Maiden, Mother, Crone. Each of them has a corresponding QR code leading the viewers deeper into the complex ideas behind each work. Like many of my other works, most of the art actually emerges in the minds of people interacting with it. As artists, the fruits of our feelings are on display; we wish them so. My private thoughts, however? Here, going deeper requires an exchange. Your data plan and the processing power of your smartphone for my deep conclusions.

connectionsAbout • Biography
I am a Creatress whose art is an exploration of living on Earth as a human female in the 21st century (this time around). Science and spirituality a woven deeply into my practice of both art and being alive. My process is: I go through an experience, have an epiphany about the wealth of meaning within it. Then I give that meaning an independent shape outside of my body. Essentially, when I’d cried all the tears on the subject, the art is ready to be conceived. The materials are always intentional, and I often provide the context needed to fully understand the work in the form of a video, narration or a text. I invite humans to examine their preconceived notions about reality and actively challenge them while interacting with my works. My goal is to be the trigger who inspires people to know themselves better, to appreciate reality and to realise how much power over our experiences we actually have.
