Wolfgang Mattheuer Guten Tag 1975 |IA|

‘Guten Tag’ by Wolfgang Mattheuer was painted in 1975 and portrays an idealistic image of a family in a dream-like and precise world. This oil painting shows a lot of realism and yet it seems like it is without life. The people are coming straight towards the viewer with a motion to interact, however their facial colour and expression suggests they […]

Too much, yet not enough

I want to share with you all the work that I have done so far this and last academic year. However, there is a lot of it and so I don’t know where to start. (Also, I’m writing this post instead of writing my final essay of the year – procrastination on 100% right now). When I moved out and […]

Artistic Restart.

I have hit the restart button (again). This time, I have a clearer vision for this blog and it will be a way of supporting my practice as an artist. Since my last post a lot has happened. I am currently studying Contemporary Art Practice at Gray’s School of Art and I have just started the second semester of my […]

Ape(ISH) Rock(ISH)

Hi there! My life has changed a bit in the past year and I haven’t been able to push myself to do some writing. I tried to put some videos together from my travels that I have done but those will have to wait a bit longer. So… Finally…. Here’s the first of hopefully many posts about my discoveries in […]

Muzyczna Matura

Dokładnie za 3 tygodnie, matura będzie zakończona! Przypomnę wam jakie przedmioty robię: muzyka, taniec, plastyka i matma. (Będę też pisałą egzamin z WOSu i Polskiego). Matura z tańca już skończona, matura z plastyki rownież. 2 egzaminy z matmy za mną (jeszcze 4). Przypomnę również, że matura jest rozłożona na 2 lata i niektóre przedmioty wymagają egzaminów a inne jedynie tak […]

Running into the future

For the first time in a long time I don’t want to go back to Poland. That doesn’t mean I want to stay here though. I don’t. I want to run. Run away, start somewhere new. From experience I know that starting new isn’t easy. But then again this time I’ll be starting again alone. No family near by, nothing […]

Recipe for Christmas

I have to admit I don’t help out enough around the kitchen during Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I do a lot of cleaning and some making but maybe not enough actual cooking. Anyway, I would like to share with you one of my favourite Polish deserts. Chocolate oats balls Difficulty level: Easy Time needed: 20 minutes actual making plus […]

I znowu… a kiedy koniec?

“I znowu, i znowu, i znowu… W tą i z powrotem. Nikt nigdy mnie nie spytał czy mnie to męczy. A wszyscy pytają czy mam dobry angielski, Primarka pod domem lub jaki jest Londyn. Widzicie te ciekawe strony mieszkania zagranicą a ja co raz więcej widzę wad. Więc tak, męczy mnie takie jeżdżenie tylko na wakacje i potem wpadanie w […]
