About

   My artistic creativity really began in primary school. Even then, as a young girl, my passion was drawing. I painted real pictures, i.e. landscapes, nature and I painted with crayons and watercolours. When I was an adult, I started using oil and acrylic paints... and then abstract painting began to delight me. I had to activate an abstract view of form and colour. To this day, it gives great joy and fun. I am self-taught and I came to every technique or nuance of painting on my own. My paintings are diverse in terms of technique, colour and theme. I do not want to define myself in any framework. Internal freedom without restrictions gives a broader view of the world. Hence the diversity in my paintings. One day I paint a landscape in an abstract way and a few days later a real picture. This awareness that I do not stick to generally understood rules gives a lot of satisfaction and willingness to work. My paintings have been exhibited in the Orion and Onowa cultural centres in my hometown in Poland. They were taken at auctions and bought by private individuals. In my life I also designed women's clothing. My designs were prototypes, models presented them on the catwalk during various Bydgoszcz ceremonies. I remember this period very fondly and I am glad that circumstances gave me a chance to function in this field and enjoy my work. Today I live a peaceful life and my passion is still painting. Painting, as I mentioned, is diverse. Elzbieta Wojtowicz
