Catherine Soltys, Untitled, 2025

Acrylic, canvas, 90x90 cm.

Between 2001 and 2006, she studied at the Faculty of Arts at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, where she honed her painting skills under the tutelage of Prof. Stanisław Żukowski. Then, in 2007, she expanded her interests to photography, continuing her studies at the Academy of Photography in Warsaw. She has lived and worked in Warsaw for many years. She combines painting and photography into a unique and expressive artistic language. She creates paintings in acrylic, oil and watercolor, combining them with pastels and ink, which gives the works unique texture and depth. She also works in fine art photography and printmaking. Her paintings are a story about the emotions that accompany human interactions - the conscious ones and the fleeting, intense ones. The author explores the subtle impulses and feelings that appear in human relationships - both what attracts us and what divides us: needs, longings, trust as well as doubt and weakness. The artist's works are sold in Poland and abroad.
