This series of drawings, created secretly during high school classes, formed a sketchbook dedicated to imaginative stylizations of women. At the time, femininity was a repressed part of the artist’s identity, surfacing only through drawing, where female silhouettes were portrayed like fashion models inspired by a designer’s aesthetic. Each sketch became a private embodiment of femininity, preserved solely on paper. The works were later shown in the group exhibition You’ve Gone Incognito. Cross-dressing and Home Photoshoots at the Fort Institute of Photography in Warsaw (2021) as part of Warsaw Gallery Weekend. The show also featured works by Michel Journiac, Tomasz Machciński, Pierre Molinier, and Zbigniew Libera.

'Memoirs Of A Time Of Immaturity'
mixed media
sketchbook, 30 x 30 cm, 2010

These teenage drawings, created as a diary, are grouped into themes such as love, desire, and sadness, serving as an early tool for exploring sexuality before the artist encountered queer discourse or LGBTQ+ communities. They come from one of many sketchbooks kept during childhood and adolescence, this one dedicated to formative experiences including first dates, first loves, encounters with strangers, and early travels abroad. The works were presented in the group exhibition Pickle Bar Presents at the West Museum in The Hague. They were shown alongside a documentary by Dawid Nickel (2018–2020), in which he visited the artist’s conservative parents and staged a kind of “queer coming out” on her behalf. Together, the drawings and film reflect on repression, intimacy, and the attempt to bridge generational and familial barriers.

'A Step Forward'
charcoal on paper
5 drawings 30 x 21 cm, 2023

This work revisits a recurring motif in the artist’s practice: women’s calves and high heels, while also echoing a youthful fascination with Toulouse-Lautrec’s depictions of Parisian nightlife and liberated women. Using charcoal as both medium and reference to her working-class background and her father’s profession as a miner, the artist broke down the motion of stepping forward in high heels into a sequential study inspired by Marcel Duchamp. The gesture becomes an allegory for emancipation, illustrating how minorities carve out space for themselves step by step. The piece was presented at the opening of Her Clique’s new space in Lisbon, alongside works by Katarína Janečková, Tracey Emin, and Zanele Muholi, in an exhibition dedicated to female art.

'Hommage à la Toulouse-Lautrec'
pastel on paper
30 x 42 cm, 2023

These drawings continue the artist’s exploration of calves and high heels, here depicted as a descent down stairs in pastel tones. Framed in the kind of fixtures often seen above urinals, the works highlight how this body part functions both as fetish and as a trigger of sexual imagination. They also reference cruising in public restrooms, one of the rare spaces where queer people could once form intimate connections. The series was presented in the group exhibition Everything I Have is in the Shape of Its Shape at Łęctwo Gallery in Poznań (2023). The works engaged with concepts from Udawanie ludzi (Pretending People), a poetry collection by curator and poet Maja Demska, which the artist also illustrated.

'Self portrait in charm and anger II' charcoal and pastel on paper,

This 2024 series of large-format drawings combines spray paint, pastels, charcoal, and personal objects into collage-like compositions. Each work reflects moments from the artist’s queer life, including a relationship with a turtle, participation in the Venice Film Festival, studying art history, office work, sexual encounters, theater involvement, and the transition into performance while leaving corporate life behind. The drawings draw on diverse art-historical styles, presenting the body as fragmented, stretched, surreal, or restrained. Through this shifting visual language, the series examines how varied experiences have shaped the artist’s perception and identity.

'Work in progress'
charcoal on paper
ongoing series, 42 x 30 cm, 2023

This ongoing series consists of charcoal portraits of fictional women, created in an intentionally quick, ephemeral style. Rejecting anatomical correctness and academic conventions, the drawings are rooted in everyday life, the body, and emotions. Each work captures fleeting incarnations of femininity as they emerge in the artist’s imagination. With several dozen pieces already completed, the series continues to expand, functioning as a testing ground for intuitions that later inform performance and theatre. Ultimately, it reflects the evolving nature of the artist’s own understanding of femininity.
