I also obtained my BA in Cultural Studies at the University of Warsaw (2013). Currently participant of the Autumn Intensive at the Malmö Art Academy.

My main focus is mechanisms of control and processes influencing and exploiting an individual. I use poetic visual language to analyze restrictive rules established within intimate relationships, communities, states, or companies, and towards the natural environment.

I was a resident of Hospitalfield in Scotland (2022), Muzeum Susch in Switzerland, the Artist Development Program at the EIB Institute in Luxembourg (2021), and Futura gallery in Prague (2020, Visegrad Fund). I participated in the Lucy Art Residency public program in Kavala (2022) and in the School of Expressions in PLATO Ostrava (2019).
