According to Gustav Jung’s psychology, the Animus is the male archetype in the female psyche. A healthy, well-developed Animus connects the inner spiritual world with the outer world and gives strength in finding your own self-awareness and fighting for women’s rights. In the 21st century, efforts are still being made to successfully remove the Animus element through the process of socialization, education, and legislation.

Ewa Grajnert-Halupka was born in 1967. In the years 2006-2011 studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Arts in Poznan. Master of Arts degree obtained in 2011. Since 2022, she has been working as an assistant in the research and teaching group at the Faculty of Design Arts at the Bydgoszcz University of Technology and runs a drawing studio. She works in drawing, painting, poster and artistic graphics.
She oscillates around issues related to nature and its complexity, its resisting cognition, its metaphysics and its profound impact on human perception, which belongs to nature but also grows beyond it. These are often accounts full of alienation and drama, but not devoid of poetics and beauty.
