Mariola Swigulska graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Lodz. During her studies, she perfected her painting and archtectonic technique during her stay in Vienna. Her favorite technique is oil painting on canvas in large formats. She seeks unusual forms of presentation, and is interested in combining art with architecture, creating spaces in unconventional ways, and seeking a place for paintings in modern interiors. In painting, she seeks inspiration in details taken from the world of plants. She now devotes herself exclusively to art, experimenting with painting techniques (her favorite is working with noble metal and texture paintings), formats and the subject matter of her works. She is currently creating works that result from her fascination with abstraction in art, dreamy visions, living in harmony with nature and the power of positive thinking. Combining these aspects, is reflected in a wide variety of the artist's works. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions - including: Polen Zentrum, Berlin, 1987; Drei Generationen, Berlin, 1988; Vienna, 1990 -1992: Lodz House of Culture, 1996; Ars Nova Gallery, Lodz, 2004-2009;Ars Nova Gallery, Lodz, 2012; TAB Gallery, Warsaw, 2013; Gallery 63, Sopot, 2015. She collaborates with many architects at home and abroad. The artist's paintings are in private collections in Europe: Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and Vienna, as well as in the United States in Florida.
