My artwork combines classic painting and drawing techniques with spontaneous, organic processes as well as cutting edge digital imaging. I completed a Masters of Fine Arts in Set Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, and also graduated from the Faculty of Interior Design at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. The Interior Design diploma project took me to Paris where I participated in the exhibition European Way of Life at the Carrousel Gallery in the Louvre Museum. "Nowadays I don't paint with a brush, but with water and breath. I blow particles of paint on the canvas and form them into lagoons of stalactites or other desired shapes. This creates a kind of background which I sometimes leave as it is or at other times complement it with new forms to give the work a deeper meaning. In my creative process I'm often helped by one of the five natural elements - water. It is the rain that creates the unpredictable forms which I later mould into a coherent whole. Water and breath - these two essential elements of life have become my greatest sources of inspiration" - explains Agnieszka Nowi?ska.
