oil, canvas, 100 × 70 cm, signed p.d.: 'K. Stępniak'



She graduated from the Faculty of Industrial Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, where she earned her Master of Fine Arts degree. In addition to painting, she picked up knowledge of interior design, as well as new product design. From the collision of these circumstances, the artist's distinctive painting style was born. Over time, she began to explore the possibilities of using 3d modeling techniques in her painting. She places female figures in correlation with modeled, often chrome objects and mechanisms, and sometimes includes futuristic devices she has invented in her paintings. One can also see a lot of symbolism in her works, which she uses to contain a specific message. In 2009, she was awarded in the Electrolux Design Lab competition, which aimed to create a functional product of the future. She also designs and makes 3d objects. Fascinated by the most interesting interior and object designers, she also designs to maintain an interesting dialogue between object and space. She presented her graduation project at the collective exhibition "Design Plus Industry" in 2011 and next to her paintings at the exhibition "First Independent Salon of Young Lodz Artists" at Wytwórnia in Lodz in 2014.
Other group painting exhibitions: "Hot Chestnuts" (2012), "Elanie - from the collection of the Majdas Family" (2014), "EL ART. Exhibition of young artists from Lodz"(2014).
