Hi!

​

My name is Agnieszka Alpin and I am a Polish artist and an interior designer living in the lovely city Cracow. I have showed an interest and a passion for art and interior design from a young age. When I was younger I attended to an art circle, in my home city, which made me sure of the path I would choose in my life. I was accepted to my dream courses, Painting and later Interior Design which I have completed at Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, Krakow (2013) and Coventry University (2016). I have displayed my work in collective exhibitions in Poland (Ostrowiec Sw. Krakow), the Czech Republic (Brno) and England (Leeds, Sheffield) and Belgium (Brussels).

​

My favourite artists are Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Joan Miró. As I child I fallen in love in Vincent van Gogh’s art. I have chosen the paintings from his latest period of creativity to paint Vincent’s amazing artwork in my style. The pictures are not a pure abstraction as we can observe the realistic hidden symbols reflecting the serious problems of the world we live in. They content a key to my unusual journey waiting to be discovered by the observers.

Travelling, architecture and the human body play a significant role in my artwork with all the paintings being based upon the photos I have taken within Europe from the areas which have influenced me the most.

​

‘Travelling allows me to understand everything that is alien. My experience from travelling is depicted in my pictures.  They present a colourful world mostly focussed on architecture and human body.’

​

Personally, travelling allows me to relax, unwind and take a break from the fast-paced lives we currently live.  I love to walk around places of outstanding beauty and observe everything in a different way.  Within my paintings I love to capture the unique architecture from buildings around Europe and peoples’ movement. The art collection ‘My journey’ allowed me to find my artistic path and style in painting. It had a strong influence on the next art collection entitled ‘Selfie’.

​

The inspiration for this collection was the modern phenomenon which has taken place with the rise of the digital camera, the ‘selfie’.

The aim of this artwork was to underline how we are obsessed about digital media and the kind of possibilities we have by the availability and the limitless number of images we can capture using the digital camera.  We can then choose the one we would like to present on social media.  These possibilities give use the opportunity to deceive the reality, with the desire for beauty making people mask or edit their faces or body.

The paintings part of the ‘selfie’ collection is within context yet are an exaggerated account of selfie photos, they are painted to show the extreme aspects of selfie taking.  As some people are ready to do everything for an ‘exciting’ selfie photo; show a naked body or climb up a skyscraper.  The bold colours and strong contrasting lines emphasise this and bring a personal and specific character to the paintings.

​Currently I develop my passions and I work intensively in area of painting and interior design in this same time. If you like my paintings do not hesitate to contact with me!
