Katarzyna Karpowicz

La pintura es mi vida. Fui criada en el seno de una familia de pintores y sé que el único camino para conseguir los resultados deseados, es el trabajo duro y constante. No existen atajos posibles.

Nací y fui criada en Polonia y soy pintora. Actualmente vivo y pinto en Reino Unido, mientras mantengo mi colaboración con las mejores galerías en Polonia. Desde mi graduación en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Cracovia, departamento de pintura, en 2010 (obteniendo Maestría en Artes), he protagonizado 11 exposiciones individuales en Cracovia, Varsovia, Zamosc, Wroclaw y Gdynia en Polonia, Budapest en Hungría y Lower Basildon en Reino Unido.

En 2015 fuí posicionada dentro del top 10 en la lista de "Los más prometedores jóvenes artistas en Polonia" en el ranking oficial del Art Compass (Kompas Sztuki), bajo el patrocinio del Ministerio de Cultura y Patrimonio Nacional de Polonia. En este momento, el éxito comercial que he cosechado en el mercado artístico de Polonia, me permite concentrarme en nuevos proyectos y retos.

Born 4 Nov 1985 in Krakow. In 2005 she graduated from National School of Fine Arts in Cracow, and began studying painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Krakow. Until 2008 she studied under prof. Grzegorz Bednarski. She graduated with honors in 2010 under prof. Leszek Misiak.
