As I am back after a long break, I think it would be nice to introduce myself.
I graduated from the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 2015. I returned to painting after 9 years of searching for my life path. I desperately wanted to do something useful for society 🙈 But finally I realized I really need to create if I want to be happy. It took me some time to accept the idea that artists ARE useful. So I try my best to add some beauty and joy to the world by working hard to improve my skills which rusted a little. I hope some day it will become my main source of income (or the only one) but right now I work full time and paint and draw whenever I can. Which is good for now, because I don’t feel (so much) pressure to sell my work.
I am writing this because I don’t want to create yet another Instagram account telling you that everyone except you is handling things so well: I don’t, but I try. The last few years were intense and full of these kind of experiences that are said to make you stronger if they don’t kill you (one of the biggest bu*****ts I’ve ever heard). I smile in this picture because it is a moment of pure happiness. It’s summer, I’m surrounded by nature, working in the garden (not mine, but it belongs to my family; some day I’ll have one). I’m absolutely mentally exhausted here, but the birds are singing and the sun is shining. I’m going to be happy no matter what. F*ck you, life, try harder (or maybe not, but it sounds so brave, doesn’t it).
