ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Ania is a mixed-media artist who incorporates unique strokes and a variety of vibrant colours into her figurative work. The most interesting part of Ania’s art career is happening right now as she is on a quest to discover her artistic identity.

Ania’s journey as an artist began at the young age of 11 when she started ART SCHOOL. Gouache still lifes, nature paintings, clay practice, and engraving prints were the things around her for the 6 years of this stage of education. Later, when Ania reached high school, her interest shifted to ARCHITECTURE. During the next 8 years, she mastered graphic skills by drawing human anatomy, advanced geometric shapes compositions, and architecture drawings.

After graduating with a MASTER of ARCHITECTURE, Ania stood by her visual art skills for a decade to work on high-scale architectural projects.

In 2020, while the world went crazy with the pandemic, Ania was in the middle of sweet motherhood time. Calmly drawing every day in a living room studio between her mother’s chores, she used her time to develop a whimsical way to capture people with huge hands and tiny heads. Ania names them “drawing jokes” and it's defined as her signature way to paint people. Thanks to the increasingly positive feedback, Ania soon started to draw commissions and teach students full-time. By 2024, Ania expanded her practice, introducing acrylic painting series inspired by the rich colours of Vancouver’s landscapes.

A year later, while continuing to exhibit her work and grow on the professional art scene, she launched a painting events company dedicated to making art accessible to everyone eager to explore their creativity. With no prior experience required, participants can step into the world of art, feel like real artists, and create their own masterpiece in just one day.
