I’m Ania:). I was born and raised in Poland, but currently working and living in London. I graduated from MA Print at Royal College of Art (2021) and BA Fashion Print at Central Saint Martins (2018) in London.

In my work, I focused on topics connected to my family and nationality, especially the cult of Icons in Poland and its strong connection with identity and cultural ritual. Through my practice, I want to narrate and create my own icons: places, people, objects that are close to me.  They exist in space or wander around abstract landscapes without an exit point. 

I usually work with monoprint and collage, encompassing drawing, photography, painting, and textiles. I paint imaginative places from my childhood, including figures of myself and my family members, especially women and people I admire. I rescale, isolate and detach them from the reality I know to the non-space unaffected by time and deprive family members from relationships, leave them and myself in this strange universe. Each of them become a silent icon.
