EMILIA DRAGOSZ - born in Kielce in 1988. In 2007, she graduated from the State Secondary School of Fine Arts in Kielce, specializing in Old Painting and Gilding Techniques. From 2008 to 2013, she studied painting at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. She earned her master's degree in painting from the studio of Prof. Leszek Misiak, and an annex in drawing from the studio of Prof. Teresa Kotkowska-Rzepecka.
From childhood, she knew she would pursue art. Her parents, both furniture restorers, were her greatest inspiration. They often took her to museums and exhibitions, sharing their delights.
In her work, she is primarily passionate about people in their diverse roles as individuals, in relationships, and as elements in society. Her paintings are a compilation of personal experiences and observations of those around her, highlighting what interests, delights, frustrates, and sometimes frightens. She is fascinated by realism, understood as the use of technique to appeal to the senses.
