Fine Art nominee

You can see flowers everywhere. We get them on birthdays, wedding anniversaries and many other moments in our lives. In our culture we also bring them to the dead. In my family, like in many other families in Poland, the culture of the All Saint's Day has always been present. As a child I used to help my mum prepare flowers made out of paper which we would later bring to the cemetery. We rolled rose petals from thin sheets of paper and than dipped them in hot wax. Even now, after many years I still remember that smell.
"Reminiscences. Blue Chlorophyll ”is a project that refers to that family tradition. In the cyanotype technique, I made prints of flowers collected in the garden and then pressed wax into them. The resulting works give the stained glass effect when viewed against the world.

I am a student of Institute of Creative Photography in Opava, gradaute of Wroclaw's Photography School AFA and a memeber or Association of Polish Art Photographers. I run photography workshops in historical techniques such as cyanotype or wet collodion. In my activities, I combine photography with other areas of artistic expression, trying to establish a pictorial intergenerational contact.
