I am a Polish illustrator who has loved drawing since I was four, inspired by my grandfather. My passion is deeply rooted in Polish illustration from the 70s and 80s, and I love creating on paper as well as embroidering my illustrations on canvas. Drawing has been a source of therapy and joy throughout my life. Besides art, I enjoy movies, especially the works of John Cassavetes, music, and Polish theater. I live in Lyon with my cat, Ragu, who has a distinctive red spot on her forehead. Professionally, I have experience working as an illustrator and graphic designer for various French and international clients. I collaborate with cultural institutions, festivals, and brands, while also engaging in risography printing and bookbinding. I enjoy exploring various printing techniques and combining illustration with textile and ceramics, always aiming to develop my style and storytelling abilities.
