Adele

Graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Arts, Department of Graphics. Also studied Photography at the Warsaw School of Photography and Graphic Design; Media Design at The British Higher School of Art and Design; and Graphic design at the Moscow Institute of Applied Arts.

I work using old techniques of Flemish painting, a complex system involving many transparent and translucent layers of paint, allowing for a sense of saturation, depth and a glow of light from within the picture. This creates an aura of mystery.

I am mainly involved in Western religious painting and graphics. I am inspired by early medieval painting with its simplicity and seeming unreality.

At the same time, I try to include a contemporary element in my art, to reveal something new, to create portraits that are not merely images from long ago, but speak to us in the here and now.

I believe that art should be available to everyone. For this reason, I have participated in events and exhibitions promoting art in the UK, where I lived after graduation, and many other countries. This was also the motivation for opening an art school for children and adults, firstly in Berlin, then in Bremen: Das Kunsthaus.

In my private life, I am married to an academic and we have three children.

We moved to Bremen in 2020. I find the city inspiring: it is old and beautiful, free and harmonious. I hope to become a worthy citizen and contribute to its beauty on a daily basis.
