CV
I was born in 1984 in Poland and grew up in a small town in a middle of an old forrest. I'm a HIV positive, queer, multimedia artist and a meditation teacher. Because of my long career as an illustrator my main medium is drawing, but depending on a project I use it as a point of reference for painting, installations and performance. I am interested in the spiritual space between the the visual artwork and its audience. I studied Political Science and Philosophy which led me to pursuing spiritual investigations within Buddhist and Shamanistic traditions. In 2015 I began a project Queer Meditations and in 2020 co-founded an artist-run VLP Gallery.
