Hello,

 

My name is Maria Magdalena but my family and friends call me Marysia. I am Polish illustrator and designer currently living with my family in Slovenia.

In my art I try probably all techniques but the one I really fall in love with is watercolor and ink. I often mix them with pencils. I love how it is unpredictable and simple. 

​

Painting just makes me happy, it is that simple and I don't hide behind big philosophy about my art.

​

I don’t like to complicate with the themes I use for my work, I rather try to capture the simplest moments and situations of everyday life. I love to illustrate stories written by life, because Life itself is definitely the most inspiring writer. I wish to perceive beauty in every so called "gray day".

​

Once the great writer Hans Chistian Andersen said two wise things:

 “Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.” 

and

“Every man's life is a fairy tale, written by God's fingers.” 

​

I am trying to keep it in my mind while working. 

I use my illustrations also for other project like designing postcards, greeting cards, notebook, room decorations and other.

I illustrated e-books for Kreda Magazyn, and a book for Homeschoolers in Slovenia. 

My My project which takes a half of my heart was also Mimice.

And you are very welcome to read about it more.
