Michalina Malolepsza lives and works in Schiedam, The Netherlands. In 2011 she graduated at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy in Rotterdam. During her studies she decided to focus on printmaking especially on linocut technique. At this moment Michalina is busy with taking part of exhibitions and art projects, mainly in Rotterdam and surroundings. She works together with a group of other graphic designers at Grafisch Atelier Minnigh in Rotterdam.
The artist likes to play with topics, but her work is characterized by an interest in human, his inner life, self-expression, feelings, choices and development. A particularly intuitive seek for transcendence. She searches for it without looking far away, but precisely within herself, in close relationships, in everyday events. What may seem ordinary to us on a daily basis brings with it trials in which we grow.
Michalina assumes that there is more to our existence than what can be described in words. Therefore, when creating, she often uses intuition. Intuition is underestimated in the Western world, but in Indian philosophical systems it is studied and raised to the rank of science.
