She has developed her own pouring technique by layering thinned acrylic with mineral pigments. Kasia's artworks can be found in private collections worldwide.
"My artworks are abstract memories of experiences related to the natural world. I'm particularly drawn to the sky and water, as symbols of freedom and happiness. Every painting is an experience, a celebration of colour and emotions that life unfolds.
I hope my work will inspire viewers, allowing them to immerse themselves in the composition and the detail of the painting, and seeing something new every time they study the piece."
