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 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 unique way to capture people with huge hands and tiny heads. Ania names them “drawing jokes”. The first series of works was a success in art exhibitions. Soon Ania started to draw commissions and teach students full-time.
