I deal with painting and dollmaking. I am fascinated by language of soul – symbols, myths, legends, dreams. I am looking for inspiration in religious art, especially from prehistory till middleages, in art naive and in magic.

Key subjects of my art are myths and magic, like the myth of eternal return, figures of goddesses of live, death and fertility (like f.ex. Great Mother and Mother Mary as a pagan goddess). Tarot and Baba Yaga – Slavic witch and goddess of life. I am interested in connections between myths and feminism and between myths and nature. By making dolls I continue the tradition of prehistoric religious and magical dolls. In my dolls I join my interests in symbolic narration and in art craft techniques. 

Usually I create figuratives scenes, but in my newest project I am looking for symbols with which I could replace – or balance – a human figure in my art. In the era of climate catastrophy we need to remove human figure from the center of our attention and to put nature and ecosystem there. To do so our myths, rituals and art also should become less human-focused and more ecological balance-focused. Less anthropocentric and more ecocentric.  The fields of my searching for symbols are nature, rithuals, old customs, folclore. 

My work is a slow process. I create cycles of works, sometimes making one cycle takes me few years. I create multiple versions of one motif. 

In painting I use such techniques as acrylic on canvas, tempera or coloured pencils on paper. In dollmaking the process of craftworking by itself is very important for me. I use age-old hand techniques, as sewing, embroidery and beads embroidery, tying.
