Her inspiration comes from plastic theater, movement and dance theater and the paintings of J. Malczewski, S. Wyspianski, E. Schiele. Close to her heart is symbolism, Art Nouveau and the fairy-tale nature of the Pre-Raphaelites. Context and detail comment on reality. Emotional women's faces are enriched by the gaze, in which mood can be found. The color reflects the vibrant life full of emotionality, energy and vitality of the figures looking at the outside world from a distance.The deep gaze with clearly defined eyes gives a sense of dialogue with the viewer. Her works add originality to the interior. They are a pretext for the search for answers to the questions "Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?"- P.Gauguin.
