Patrycja Szmyt is a graduate of the State High School of Fine Arts in Gdynia Orlowo (years of study: 2015-2019). The artist does easel painting in oil and acrylic technique .She draws themes for her paintings from reality, interpreting it according to her own aesthetics and sensitivity. She is currently creating a series of paintings dedicated to the Gdansk Shipyard. The artist's main goal is to create works that are aesthetically pleasing, simple and unadorned, thus capturing the raw atmosphere of the shipyard. She identifies the harbor cranes themselves with people and emotions that each of us struggles with, such as joy, sadness, fear or shame. However, the artist does not limit herself to one subject matter, she also creates figurative paintings, landscapes or still lifes.
