Maggie left her native country Poland in 1996 for Atlantic City in the United States. It was a move, which influenced her life and her painting. Although she graduated from the Brzozowski National School of Fine Art in Krosno, the self taught artists, who were purer, and potentially greater than the trained artists inspired her more.

Maggie believes that natural, untrained creativity actually deepen artistic freedom to develop one own style. Fleeing “perspective”, “shading”, or “composition” seems very hard once you are taught to work in certain canons. Her way of experimenting, playing with colors, texture, and even words leads her out of the artistic stereotypes. This way out is her art: it is her ultimate escape. The moment when nothing goes wrong, or anything goes wrong allows mistakes to be. Mistakes, coincidence, associations give birth to beautiful things.

As she says: “I like conceptual art , but I’m not one of those who talk more than they create.” Concepts are very important, but most of all technique, color and texture stimulate her work. “To me art, creating in general, is as natural as breathing. I have creative mind, I love to make and surround myself with beautiful things. I don’t stop. Either it is a home design, funny installation or painting.”

“To me art is that creation which attracts you and make you stare. It is aesthetically pleasing your eye, mind and soul.”
