I am a painter based in Glasgow, working primarily in oil on canvas alongside drawing, printmaking, and handmade paper processes.

The human figure occupies a central place in my work. I am interested in the body not as an object to be observed, but as a carrier of experience — shaped by relationships, memory, loss, love, and the passage of time. Through painting, I explore how these experiences become part of who we are, often long after the moment itself has passed.

Landscape appears throughout my practice in a similar way. Rather than serving simply as a backdrop, it becomes a space where personal histories, emotions, and ways of belonging can be held. I am drawn to places that feel lived in — places marked by memory, absence, return, and change.

Many paintings begin with photographs, family archives, or moments encountered in everyday life. Painting allows me to move beyond the specificity of these sources. As a work develops, its original reference often becomes less important than the questions it raises. I am interested in the distance between what happened and what is remembered, between what is seen and what is felt.

My experience of living between cultures has also shaped the way I think about place and identity. Originally from Poland and based in Scotland, I often return to questions of home, ancestry, migration, and continuity. These themes emerge not as subjects to be illustrated, but as underlying currents that connect different bodies of work.

For me, painting is a way of paying attention. It offers a space where fragments of experience can be gathered, examined, and transformed. Through the slow process of making, I seek not to explain the world, but to remain in conversation with it.
