KATARZYNA BULKA-MATLACZ:

Warsaw-born Katarzyna graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1991 and has been exhibiting her surreal, captivating sculptures for over 30 years. Having undertaken work for global brands such as Kraft Foods, Credit Suisse and AXA, as well as exhibiting her work throughout Europe, she is now looking to expand her audience within the British art market. Using the ancient technique of lost wax casting, Katarzyna’s fascinating sculptures combine elements of surrealism, grotesque and fairytale, drawing inspiration from artists such as Henry Moore and Salvador Dali. Katarzyna says: “These elements are used to show the complexity of the human condition, man’s ambitions and limitations, his advantages and drawbacks. Depicting animals, humans and ordinary objects in unusual situations, Katarzyna’s sculptures are imbued with hidden meanings, metaphor, subtexts and secrets and she says: “I have a desire to awake the imagination of my audience and provide them with food for thought.”
