Joanna Tokarczyk, a painter, graphic designer, graduated in 1997 from the Antoni Kenar State Secondary School of Fine Arts in Zakopane. She continued her apprenticeship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań, where she studied painting in the studio of prof. Jacek Waltoś.
In 2004 she was awarded a diploma with an excellent grade at the Faculty of Graphics and Multimedia Communication in the illustration studio of prof. Mirosław Adamczyk.
The paintings by Joanna Tokarczyk, even those filled with red and women looking straight in the eyes, infuse with strength and peace. She is characterized by saturated colors and organic shapes but because 'everything flows' - also in her style - over the years you can see changes in colors, appearance of new forms, themes, inspirations.
Her works can be found in art galleries, bookstores (publications of, among others, Wydawnictwo Literackie, Zielona Sowa, Nomos), fashion houses (the theme of "Urban Orchid" from the Arkadius collection) and public interiors (Climbing Wall Fortress in Krakow, Renewable Energy Center in Solina).

Anna Masiul-Gozdecka graduated from Warsaw Academy of Arts in 2000. Her admiration for beauty and the desire to share beauty in all its forms has inspired her from the beginning of her career. Initially fulfilling this desire through poetry, the artist soon found that words were not enough and turned her attention to painting.
For Anna Masiul-Gozdecka, art is a way to celebrate the world and all the beauty it contains. A common theme in her paintings are her dreams; the artist envisions parallel, colorful worlds where anything is possible. Her expressiveness is due in part to her powerful use of color.
Anna Masiul-Gozdecka constantly explores different styles in her painting; often harmonizing figurative style as well as abstract style. These styles are complementary and their combination allows the artist to explore new horizons. She prefers oil paint for figurative paintings because she believes that this medium accurately expresses her energy and is capable of creating unique contrast. For her abstract paintings, she uses acrylic due to its malleability and quick-drying application. See the artworks

Halina Kaźmierczak, member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers, Krakow painter. During more than 30 years of her artistic career, she has taken part in national exhibitions and open air paintings. She practices primarily easel oil painting. She combines realism with surreal metaphors in her work. The attentive viewer will find a lot of symbols, sometimes direct, sometimes ambiguous, which can be noticed after viewing successive images from the artist. Thematically, the majority of her work revolves around a woman, which combines the physical with the spiritual. In their gestures, her models focus on showing the caring and nurturing ways of women. Spirituality, ancestors, strength and inner feminine wisdom are very important parts of her art. Her paintings bring to mind mystical beings, who bravely and wisely look into the eyes of viewers which rouse the thought of time passing by.
Halina Kazmierczak loves Krakow, the city where she lives. Its atmosphere is her constant source of inspiration. See the artworks

Renata Brzozowska I was born In 1977 in Bogdaniec. I grew up in the countryside, which I consider my great luck. Drawing and painting since I remember, I kept my interest in art monotonously unchanged.
I used to attend painting classes led by Anna Owadiuk in Gorzow Wielkopolski, which strongly influenced my further work. I graduated PLSP (Secondary School of Visual Arts) in Poznan (1992-97), and afterwards I moved to France, to work for Neuville Gallery. Although it had not much in common with my today’s work, I remember that period as incredibly colorful and interesting time of my life. Nowadays I do mostly easel painting, and for many, many years my favorite subjects are Woman and Femininity, but also Dance – my great love and passion! See the artworks

I paint and draw sice I remember... Predominant motif of my art is the human.I'm fascinated by dynamic and motion of life that`s why they are a motor of my art creation: flamenco dance, tango, folklore, nude, the atmosphere of sunny southern countries, small towns with their little streets teeming with life. Fragments of nature ispire me also. See the artworks
