After a year off painting 'Trapped In Time' I am extremely excited to see it hanging in a gallery.
'Trapped In Time' Is a visual meditation on grief and rebirth, a passage through self-reflection, where loss became the catalyst for rediscovery. I found myself lingering between worlds: trapped in confusion, yet on the verge of awakening.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but I saw them instead as vessels of memory...holding fragments of pain, moments of tenderness, and the silent echoes of what once was. Within that tension, colour began to emerge as a symbol of hope: love and light persisting even in the darkest spaces.
This piece took me a year to paint. A slow, emotional battle between myself and my own creative restraint.
Through it, I learned to be patient, to let go, and to find freedom in vulnerability.
This is my story I lost my dad but in the process found Myself.

About the Artist

Born in Poland and raised in the UK, I am an artist rediscovering my passion after a four-year hiatus. Initially drawn to painting visceral, raw faces, my work has since evolved into a fusion of visceral expression and surrealism. I am captivated by texture, emotion, and the silent narratives that faces hold - often finding myself lost in observation and introspection. While I seek calmness in jazz and nature, my art speaks in a voice louder than my own, embracing the unspoken need to scream, to feel, and to be seen.
