I combine painting with textile, to look for absurdity, humor and depth. That’s my way of finding comfort in the world and in myself. Text helps establish the story I’m portraying with paint and textile.
The serie of „Absurds” is strongly rooted in my anxieties. Be it about geopolitical problems, environmental or personal – I address them here. Partially through satire I allow them to exist without eating me alive.
From what I know, we have not yet found a planet that Polish people could habitate, oil paint on textile and weaving with an embroidered element, 75×130 cm, 2026
The title is a transcription (and translation from Polish) of the embroidered part of this piece.
During a conversation with my friend about idiotic ambitions of humankind to habitate the cosmic space, while destroying the only planet we can live on for now, she responded to me: „Exactly! From what I know, we have not yet found a planet that Polish people could habitate.” (pl: „Z tego co wiem, nie udało nam się jeszcze znaleźć planety, na której Polacy mogliby się osiedlić”.) This funny slip-up very symbolically narrowed down the whole world to a nationwide problem.
The above part is a painting done on basis of a photo taken next to Elon Musk’s rocket launching station. In a nearby town of Brownsville, each launch and trial launch is a mini end of the world. 25 are allowed per year. Average of twice a month.
Below is a landscape weaved of old pieces of clothes. I collect them from my close ones for my artistic work and to save them from polluting our planet. However minuscule that save actually is.

2. What’s the difference between wounds?, painting on textile and embroidery, 30×90 cm, 2026
A dismembered body is just one of many images we can see online when it comes to political news.
This thought stayed with me – how would it feel to see my hand outside of my body? how would it feel to leave it behind?
„What’s the difference between wounds that dismember and the ones that kill? My hand is not me. Where do I begin and end?” – translation of embroidery on „What’s the difference between wounds?”
