BIOGRAPHY

BASHA

was born in Silesia, Poland.
She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Torun, Poland, graduating with a Masters degree in Fine Arts in 1976. She also studied at the Industrial Art and Design Centre in Enschede, Holland and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1976 she moved to Canada, and created her own graphic design atelier in Ottawa. While resuming her professional artistic career she occasionally worked as an art teacher in various Canadian universities and high schools.

Since 1992 she divides her life between Canada and Europe . Married in Zermatt, Switzerland, she shares her life with her husband Michel, changing the environment from Swiss Alps to the South of France. This gives her the endless opportunity for the new ideas and is the constant inspiration in her life.

She paints in a poetic and surrealistic style, combining both, she creates a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere. Her art is an open invitation to share the love for life and happiness.

ART STATEMENT

CREATION is a source of energy, based on personal perception and expressed to the satisfaction of aesthetics and the complexity of our human nature.

TO PAINT means to combine simple things together in a complicated way.

PAINTING is like a music. It travels throughout space, unreal, unattachable, non- existing but present. It is an adventure, it is the feeling of emotions that detaches us from reality ... only to give us a new life and a brand new day.
