Lesna polana (2020) Painting by Agnieszka Janik

I was born in 1972. I live in Poland. I have been interested in art and culture since I was a child.

I graduated from cultural studies at the Art Department of the Academy of Humanities. However, I have only been painting since 2008. My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums as well as in private collections. Then I experienced a huge tragedy. Death took my husband and son. They both died in a car accident. Trauma after the death of loved ones, led me to depression. I tried to escape reality because reality hurts when the whole family is not together. Painting helped me with this.Painting allowed me to cleanse myself of bad emotions and calm my pain. Now, I paint pictures in every free moment. I love landscapes, which are the dominant motif in my work. Nature is a very grateful theme for painting.

I am an introvert, with INFJ personality, I usually avoid people, and there are not many of them in my paintings. There is a piece of me in all my work, my emotions and thoughts.
