Karolina's work takes you on a magical journey into her Dreamland - a world filled with symbols, archetypes and dark shadows lingering in the corners. Karolina creates surreal images that are dark yet beautiful and full of hope, by using ethereal, whimsical and fairytale visuals. Where realism mixes with magic, and surreal concepts. Each image shows us a story that brings light and hopes to the brooding melancholy we all have inside us. She draws her inspiration from her dreams, as well a strong belief system inherited from her ancestors.
Karolina is attracted to the light, which was used by the Old Masters of Painting; she found a way to recreate that in her images, connecting her great passion for painting and drawing in her style of photography. Each picture is carefully designed, planned and sketched out and then created. Those works, heavily edited to achieve painterly effect yet remain fully photographic, depict wild imagination filled with dark, dream-like scenes with whimsical subjects.
Karolina graduated with her Masters Degree in glass design and painting from Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. After that she did another one from Illustration at Glyndwr University in North Wales.
