Katarzyna Szydłowska (b. 1969) graduated from the European Academy of Arts under the direction of Jerzy Duda Gracz, Antoni Fałat and Franciszek Starowieyski. She graduated in 1998.The artist is fascinated primarily by women - their beauty, sensuality. She has exhibited throughout Poland, as well as in Chicago, New York, Amsterdam, Cologne, Dûsseldorf, Hamburg, London. Her works are in many private collections at home and abroad.
"When painting nudes, I invariably remain in awe of the beauty of the human body, which among all manifestations of impermanence is the most sensitive, the only source of all joy, all pain and all truth."
She claims that she was born again thanks to painting. Without it she would not be able to live, it is for her like air and .... drug. She paints as much as possible and every day. Her nudes are sepia-colored, almost monochromatic. In earlier works, the background was almost empty rooms. Now her women appear in the landscape. They evoke feelings of nostalgia and reverie
