See before you see. To look within and look around at what we carry within us, what others carry within us and around us. To be aware of the fluidity and relentless changes in our perceptions and emotional evaluations that become the drivers of actions taken or abandoned. These, in turn, do not go unaffected by those around us both near, far and very far. Perhaps this can be seen much more clearly and even too brightly today.

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.
