The City 1

The first subject of my portfolio is

´ the city´ . My intention was to

present variety of possible or

impossible looks of the cities. The pictures in sepia like colors were

taken in artificial light while the

black&white ones´ colors have been changed to

grayscale in order to show

the more natural hue. Every

picture was made by pencil.

The photos were taken by Konica

The second subject of my

portfolio are ´ the shapes´ . The main idea of this part of

my work is to show how

different may be the meaning of

the word ´ shape´ . For me it is

inextricably linked with the sens of art and design, and that is the

reason why observing the

world is so important for me.

Trying to catch every shape I seek

the perfect expression of my

feelings and T

The third subject of my portfolio is

´ the sepia´ . For me this particular reddish hue is

more artistic than the traditional

pencil and not as flashy as the other colors. That makes

sepia drawings interesting. I

chose some of my works showing diversity of my

interests connected with

drawing and sketching.

The original size of my works was

70x50 cm.T

4The Border

The fourth subject of my portfolio is ´ the border´ . That

was the first design project during my

studies at the Wroclaw University of Technology. The photos on the right side show some of

my first sketches and the photos on

the left present my first model. The

main idea of the subject was to

show metaphysical meaning of the

Polish word `granica` which can

mean ´ border´ , ´ utmost´ and other

words in English

This was the second phase of my design project. My idea was to create the kind of a gate with moveable triangular

doors. The last stage of the design process was ´ the border of ilumination´ . It was showing the mixed blue and red

lights (the photo at the page no.6). The project was noticed as creative and satisfying the lecturers´ expectations.

This is the final stage of´ the border´ . The original size of this project was 210x140 cm.

7What´s the Box

This is the fourth subject of my

portfolio. While taking photos I

tried to show how the box can look like. I decided to

take photos of transparent blue

boxes as they can be presented in an

attractive way.

Photography is one of my favorite ways

of expressing myself. It is the kind

of art which can both emphasise

and cover up the reality. Maybe that

is the reason why it is such a beautiful
