For the first time in my life I had the chance to face the problem of designing of a theatrical costume. It was made for the monodrama of Katarzyna Gronowska "towards the great sea?" played by Anna Fatyga. It's about an ordinary woman and her life with all her misconceptions, dramas and failures which are like scars on her body and the hump on her back. And this is how I see it. A bit run-out, a bit rusty... dolorous and tired.

As I've written last time Urban Christmas Festival in Łódź in Poland was my very first one when I was a seller. This is how it looked. The Christmas atmosphere was breathtaking and magic. And it was only the beginning! Last week I took part in christmas fair organized by Academy of FIne Arts and it was pretty awesome. There was so many customers and people interested in art. Additionally the quality and artistic level of all artworks shown in there was really good and I felt like I can buy almost everything.
Next weekend I'm going to Warsaw for Mustache Yard Sale. I know it'll be amazing - there will be so many outstanding polish brands! I used to go there before my own brand and each time I loved every stand. I feel so privileged and so blessed to be among them this year. If you're going to be in Warsaw 19-20.12 feel welcomed to stop by for a chat! It's from 11 a.m. till 7 p.m. in Pałac Kultury i Nauki. See you there! I've spent last weekend on Urban Christmas Festival in Lodz with Breka. For the very first time I was taking part in christmas fair with my brand and I can honestly admit it was totally unusual to be there as a seller, not as a customer! It was challenging to prepare everything properly and to arrange my place nicely and attractively. Antilight took some photos for me so I'll share them soon. Stay tuned! Photo credits Antilight
There was so many amazing things happening in my life lately, so it's been quite long since I wrote something here for the last time. But as it is with extremely busy periods, they always bring us many inspiring experiences and stuff to talk about. I think I owe you a quick update before I'll tell you more about each thing... Briefly, with Antilight we had a few amazing shootings for the blog and for Breka (and we're still working on the main website content, on the shop and the Breka's blog so stay tuned!). She is so talented! I love the atmosphere she creates on the set and I love how stirring all photos are. Moreover, I launched my personal shop with watercolor paintings on Etsy (<- click here to see it now, and I'll tell you a bit more about my experiences shortly) and I already started next semester of my studies and, honestly, there is a lot to do but I really enjoy each single project! And finally... I work on my master degree in architecture which is totally different from all previously mentioned thinks and keeps my brain truly concentrated and in form! I really needed a rest and some spare time too, to recharge my betteries and to rethink my calendar. And because it's the most current issue, please forgive me my absence, and just give me one extra day, and tomorrow I'll tell you about my tricks how to relax well and how I deal with a stress (cause abviously I'm the one who get stressed from time to time as well). See you tomorrow! If there is something what interests you the most, please leave me a comment and let me know what you would be pleased to read first! :) Photo by talented Antilight
I have a friend who always wanted to be a fireman. As many of boys dream in the early age. About his fire brigade and the shiny fire truck. Cliché, heh? Not this time. As he got older, next to those dreams, he dreamed also about rescuing people and saving their properties from being burnt. The childish dream became his biggest aim. It kept him motivated during years of mental and physical preparations. He knew that struggling with the element require huge skills and continuous learning, so every training improvement, every success, even the smallest one, made him determined with achieving the aim.
So have I. What I'm gonna say might sound irrational, illogical and crazy and you may call me workaholic if you want and think that I have the symptoms but please be forbearing! Because probably, for most of you, the success and the aim are the most motivating factors. Of course I don't want to say that for me those are not important. They are! It would be just weird if they weren't. Luckily I'm not insane that much. For me, there is one other extremely important motivator which I can simply turn into the slogan: Keep doing! Just do not stop! One good idea just entails another. I keep myself in a creative mood by doing sketches, putting on paper everything what's in my mind, developing what I've done, and breaking all rules I've submitted before. When at the end of the day I'm able to see what I've done, immediatley I get more ideas! I want to bring my ideas to life, to see them created, no matter if sawn, painted or drawn. The result of what I do doesn't need to be breathtaking. Moreover, it's shi..y quite often. But it is. I can see the result and draw conclusions and go further. That's why you can see the variety of sketches in here so often! They're quick, they allow me to note the idea and to move on with my work. As you could see on my Instagram where I showed you my prototypes of pillows or jacquard labels, and as you could read on the blog some days ago when I talked a little bit about Breka, I've been working on several conceptions for my collection of interior textiles lately. Still a bit unfinished and imprecise, with some smudges and ragged edges but I think it's all going in good direction. It's moving forward, and that's the point! Kliknij tutaj, aby edytować.
You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning, sun is shining, you smell delicious breakfast made by your beloved one and you're just immersed in cosy and warm bedclothes? Fluffy pillows are hugging you, wishing all the best for upcoming day. You nestle the fragrant pillow to your face trying to keep this comfy feeling with you. Cannot imagine better kicking off the morning than this! And can you imagine a better kicking off a new interior textile brand than launching it with pillows? You can't? Me neither. It's a really graceful item to be made, to be gossiped about, to be shot in the campaign, and finally to launch the whole collection and the brand Breka. In my dreams, I see a short movie with girlfriends pillow fighting and young women talking guys while hugging pillows. I want to bring out all emotions which are between us and our pillows - the joy, excitement, happiness, but also sadness and flowing tears. From the 15th October you will be able to see the movie and to browse the whole collection on Breka's official website. Feel free to visit BrekaStudio on Etsy as well. I'll be so pleased knowing you enjoy my products and you appreciate my artworks. It's always the best what one can imagine to have the audience. For the artist it's the best fulfillment. I'm so glad I decided to start just with pillows. I love working on them! Exploring a new design is always a kind of adventure for me. I'm trying how certain fabric works with the paint, if the ink flows smoothly through the fabric or rather collects on edges? If the warp and the weft react the same way? What is the result of wet painting? The great advantage of working with cushions is the long rectangle shape and how it's needed to be composed. I already made some prototypes and I'm getting ready for the collection and the big lounching! Photographed by Antilight
