About

Fine arts led me to theatre — scenic design, costumes, the choreography of space. Then a decade in corporate life, building global brands and creating visual identities for companies across continents. It was precise, strategic work — rewarding in its own way. 

But somewhere along the way, something went quiet. Sumi-e brought it back. 

Japanese ink painting is one of the oldest meditative art forms in the world. A brush, black ink, paper — and the radical discipline of not being able to correct a single stroke. No undoing. Every mark is final, and in that finality, there is an extraordinary kind of freedom. I hold that discipline as my foundation — and sometimes I push against it, allowing myself a more personal interpretation: painting wider, denser, with more ink on the brush than tradition might allow. 

I paint nature: bamboo, cherry blossoms, birds, landscapes — motifs that have been painted for a thousand years and still ask the same questions: about transience, about presence, about what it means to look at something carefully enough to truly see it. 

I study and exhibit with Atelier Margot, the international sumi-e school of Małgorzata Tohkou Olejniczak. 

I am based in Kraków, Poland.

Sumi-e teaches you that a single brushstroke can hold everything — if you're present enough to make it. 
I paint nature because nature doesn't perform. A branch of bamboo in wind doesn't try to be beautiful. It just is. 
That honesty is what I keep reaching for.
