Bio

Emilia Dragosz, malarstwo olejne

Born 1988 roku w Kielce.

In my artistic work, I deal with contemporary issues while using traditional painting techniques.

I am primarily passionate about people and the different roles they play: as individuals, in their relationships and as a part of society. My paintings are a compilation of my personal experiences and observations of people that are close to me, which sharpens what interests me, pleases me, frustrates me, and sometimes even terrifies me. What is really important to me is not only the content but also the way it is presented.

In the years 2008-2013 I studied painting at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. I obtained my master’s degree in Prof. Leszek Misiak’s Painting Studio, and completed an annex in drawing in Prof. Teresa Kotkowska-Rzepecka’s Studio.
