Biography
Artistic person involved in painting and performance. She grew up in a small village in the Bieszczady Mountains at the turn of the millennium. Her artistic work explores the theme of the periphery, which is romanticized in mainstream discourse and stripped of many aspects associated with village life, such as deep-rooted sexism. Mycek's projects resound with an interest in vernacular culture, queer art, and engagement with current political issues. In 2020 she defended her master's degree at the Faculty of Painting and Drawing at the University of Arts in Poznań, in the studio of Prof. Dominik Lejman. Finalist of the Maria Dokowicz competition for the best thesis. Finalist of the 19th edition of the Artistic Journey of Hestia contest. Co-founder of the 2019 Bomba Publishing initiative awarded in the national Young Wolves competition for young artists.
