She works in drawing, ceramics and video, but mostly in painting. She composes her paintings like a kind of collage. She experiments with form by creating cut-outs, paste-ups and even using destruction, including through characteristic holes burned in the canvas with a cigarette. She uses a figurative language, but combines elements in non-obvious ways, creating multi-threaded narratives and provoking interpretations from the viewer. Her paintings often illustrate the daily lives of people from the millenial generation, enriching them with new themes and surprising contexts.
She is a graduate and doctoral student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow (in 2012 she defended her diploma in Prof. Leszek Misiak's studio). Her paintings can be found in the collections of the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, Bunkier Sztuki Gallery and the National Museum in Gdansk, among others.
