Monika Dąbrowska-Picewicz
Monika Dąbrowska–Picewicz is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, Faculty of Ceramics and Glass. Dąbrowska-Picewicz became fascinated with ceramics when she was still in high school. She took part in a ceramic workshop and continued her path to becoming a craftswoman studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. At that time, it was the only department of ceramics in Poland. "I immediately decided that there was no possibility I would want to do anything else in my life," she says. Monika’s workshop is now settled in the small town of Kęty in the south of Poland. Surrounding herself with nature had a strong impact on her works and became the main inspiration of her ovoid like forms. "It is like drawing all the emotions that mankind can take from nature and later expressing it in works," she explains. To embellish her works, Monika uses a unique technique related to painting.
She is a recipient of the prestigious Young Poland scholarship program (2006) and has been awarded the honorary title of Master of Artistic Crafts by the Polish Minister of Culture and National Heritage. Her works have been showcased in numerous exhibitions and ceramic symposia in Poland and abroad, including in Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.
