Finding function in form
- • Monika’s parents were crystal glass cutters
- • Her creations are inspired by her natural surroundings
- • She likes to combine different techniques in one work
Monika 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 Wroclaw. 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.
