We had the good fortune of connecting with Patrycja Pioch Makurat and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patrycja, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
Ever since I can remember I have always been fascinated by art and fashion. From an early age, I spent my time painting, drawing, taking pictures or watching and reading anything related to fashion and art. When I went to elementary school, I started studying at the National Art School in parallel. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and have always worked in related professions. It is a way of life for me and also a form of relaxation. I can’t imagine life any other way.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My path has not been easy. I searched for a very long time and I am still searching for a way to express my emotions and also my perception of the world. I love nature and truth and this is what I try to show in my works. It’s hard to say if it was easy, because my determination and striving are with me all the time. It certainly helps that on my way I meet wonderful people full of passion and love for their work, with whom my create great projects. The best lesson for me is to be patient and pursue my goals, to persevere in my assumptions, sometimes slowly, sometimes faster, but always forward! Every situation is a valuable lesson, even if at first we think otherwise.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A very difficult question, because every place I visit fascinates me differently, nothing is the same anywhere! Although my heart is in my hometown and that’s where I’m most eager to return.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
yes, definitely! They are my parents, siblings and also my husband
