Where Nature Meets Washi

Japanese culture and art hold a profound place in my heart. My deep connection began during the two years I spent living in historic Kyoto and the scenic Shiga Prefecture on the shores of Lake Biwa. I practiced traditional Japanese arts directly in Japan: Japanese painting Nihonga, Shodō calligraphy, Haiku poetry and Nō theater. I have enriched my painting and drawing skills at the University of Fine Arts in Łódź.

I work in traditional Japanese painting style - Nihonga. My work offers a unique and profound blend, a distinctive fusion of Eastern techniques and Western craftsmanship that creates an original bridge connecting the two cultures.

Thank you for being with me
