Beata Ulikowska as a Painter

Beata began her artistic journey in 2020, quickly developing her skills through dedicated self-study and professional training. 

She has completed workshops and courses at renowned institutions, including 

♣ a drawing and painting program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland, under mgr Izabela Krześlak (2023); 

♣ portrait and landscape sessions with Cordell Garfield, president of the Northamptonshire Art Society (2023–2024); 

♣ an advanced drawing and painting course with artist David Douglas (2023); 

♣ and life drawing classes at the Old School of Art in Yardley (2023). 

This hands-on education has honed her expertise in representational and impressionist styles, often blending contemporary elements for dynamic, story-driven compositions in oil and acrylic on canvas.

Her portfolio features a wide range of evocative works, from intimate portraits and serene landscapes to empowering mythological series. 

Notable pieces include the luminous "Girl with Pearl Hair" (oil on canvas, 40x50 cm, 2024), the dramatic "Resurrectress of the Gods Syros" (oil on canvas, 50x70 cm, 2024), and the vibrant "Goddess Ingoria" series (acrylic on canvas, 2024–2025). Recent additions like "Bench," "Joy," "Judgement," and "Dress Rehearsal" (oils, 2025) explore themes of introspection, exuberance, moral tension, and anticipation. Other highlights encompass "Winter Landscape (Pejzaż Zimowy)," "Portrait of a Girl," "Donald," "Tyson," "Balcony," "Red Chair," and "Triptych Portrait Scene 3," with sizes typically ranging from 30x40 cm to 60x80 cm. 

Each original comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring lasting value for collectors.
