About the Host
Polish artist, art conservator, and educator. She is a graduate of the National Academy of Arts in Lviv (Art Conservation), the Faculty of Arts at the University of Rzeszów (Graphic Arts), and postgraduate studies in Conservation, Architecture, and Sacred Interior Design in Kraków. She specializes in oil painting inspired by the techniques of the old masters. For over a decade, she has been creating icons in the Byzantine tradition—both copies and original compositions. Her inspiration also comes from realistic portraiture, through which she seeks to capture spiritual depth and a sacred atmosphere.
From 2023 to 2025, she lived in Morocco, where she developed her artistic practice, drawing inspiration from the local culture, landscape, and people. She also collaborated with a theater in Rabat as an artistic director, responsible for scenography, costumes, and promotional materials (premiere of the play Funerary Birth, 2024).
She has over ten years of teaching experience, combining her creative work with an educational mission.
