Female Artist in Italy - My Journey

A few years ago, when I was still at school, I dreamed of visiting the Colosseum during my Latin lessons. I grew up in Germany as the child of Polish parents, developing a deep passion for culture and heritage, yet travelling – especially to Italy – seemed out of reach for a long time. So, I found other ways to connect with my favourite country: I started learning Italian, drew its cultural landmarks, and during a school exchange, had my first encounter with Italy on the beaches of Sardinia. I could feel that there was so much more to explore in Italy, and I knew I had to make my way to Rome to see the Colosseum.

​

I began studying architecture in Düsseldorf, Germany, where architectural history quickly became my favorite subject. I delved into the structures and materials of iconic buildings like the Pantheon in Rome, the Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, and even had the opportunity to visit the Venice Architecture Biennale with my university group. Then, during a semester break, the opportunity to visit Rome finally came. When I stepped into the Roman capital, there was a strange sense of familiarity and warmth. It was as though I remembered something I had forgotten long ago, uncovering a piece of my own history amidst the ancient ruins.

​

Things truly began to shift during my Master’s degree in Interior Architecture in 2024. I took my passion for Italy to the next level, feeling called to travel to Florence as a solo traveller. Only paintings could ever begin to describe how deeply this experience moved me. To this day, the Tuscan capital feels like a soulmate, constantly inspiring me and pushing me to grow as an artist. In 2025, I graduated with a Master of Arts in Interior Architecture, supported by a scholarship for my commitment to preserving historical monuments throughout my studies. Since then, I’ve continued to tell the story of my travels in Italy through my Mediterranean artworks.
