I was born in May under the sign Gemini in the year of the Monkey in the Shadow of Middle East Europe and diverse Polish, German and Jewish ancestors.

When I was, just a little girl and people asked me “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I often answered a Dreamer. But I also wanted to be a Pirate or an Adventurer. At the age of 6 a 7 I had an another wish about my destination (ambition) I wished to be a genius, a painter, a drawer, an engineer, an constructor and an inventor like Leonardo da Vinci .

From childhood on, I was busy painting and drawing. From the age of twelve, I took art classes, and trainings and I studied art in Poland and Austria. When I was 15, I sold my first abstract painting and started to study the quantum physics. When I was 17, I wrote my first poem about love and pain. The first university degree I got it was Slavic literature and linguistics. In this period, I was seriously busy with the idea of becoming a brilliant university professor. However, the political situation in Poland made it impossible for me; I became a dissident, not very important, an unimportant local dissident. I have also studied Philosophy and Management at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.

Besides painting and writing I have had different businesses in different fields, including advising non-profit and charitable organisations in the Netherlands and in other countries. I am a member of the BBK in the Netherlands (Professional Union for Visual Artists.)

I am a very independent person, and probably my paintings are too. Not difficult, but every painting is different. There is not only one style that I like to work in. However, I don’t really like an abstract style. It is my personal view of course, but I think the abstract style has nothing to do with art or with craft anymore. Very often it is just gobbledygook. It can be nice, but it is nothing more than this.
 
I don’t paint because of the trend, the mode, the latest style. I paint because something or somebody fascinates me, or because I am fascinated by something or somebody. It could be nature, a landscape, a face, a story,  an event, details of something, colours, a song, an object,  my feelings, my thoughts, my dreams: - never-ending possibilities of improbability.

I paint figurative, often fantastic paintings, including portraits, still life, collages, landscapes and nudes.  I work with oil, watercolour and pastel. Very sporadically I work with acrylics.  In my collages and abstracts I use paper, pictures, articles, flowers, stones, poems and anything else I can lay my hands on.
 
I definitely love beauty. I am trying to express my personal sense of Beauty and Truth in my paintings.

I believe that we are here on this planet by accident and not for long, actually. And because our existence is meaningless we shouldn’t take ourselves so damn seriously. If we could do this our lives would be 100% more tolerable. Our duty is to be happy, honest and free. Free in our minds. I hope I express this way of thinking in my paintings.

When I paint it is because I love it and I need it at that moment.

Creation and art’s spirit thrive on the freedom and independence of the individual.
When placed in a cage it withers and dies.
