About me

Adriana Plucha

__________

 I’m a Master of Arts, a Polish contemporary artist and a clothing and footwear fashion designer.

My adventure with art started out in my childhood. It was because of my father, Jerzy Plucha, and his being a painter and a conservator of works of art. My dream was to study at the Academy of Art in Łódź. I graduated from it with a Master of Arts in 2010 at the Faculty of Textile Art and Fashion Design, majoring in Clothing Designing, also Footwear Designing, and in Painting. My vast experience led me to interest in sculpting as well, so apart from design fashion and painting, it was one of my favorite studios. Until recently I have been creating copies of works of masters of world painting, and also sacral paintings, acts, portraits and flowers.

 

In 2014, I participated in the 4th International Quadro Art Biennale in Łódź.

During the same year, I created the “Golden Bark” statuette as the Grand Prix award for the Photographer of the Year in the Mazovian District ZPFP.

I then developed the technique of applying gold leaf and silver in the field of gilding and art conservation, and I also learned the secrets of ancient egg tempera.

In 2015, I created the first painting from the painting and sculpture collection titled “Gardens of the World”.

I primarily use the natural technique of egg tempera, whose pigments come from natural rocks. Tempera is based on a manually prepared egg binder and is considered one of the oldest painting techniques. I also use high-carat gold (23.75 ct), silver, and gold powder.

The initial part of the collection is inspired by Asia, woodcuts, and Japanese painting.

In 2017, during the 7th 21st Century Art Auction at the Sopot Auction House in Poland, a sales record was set for the painting titled “The Obsidian Sun” from the

“The Gardens of the World” – Asia collection. Gold leaf 23.75 carat, on my technique, 70 x 100 cm, 2016/17. PLN 19,000, with an auction fee of PLN 22,420.

 

 

In 2018, the debut and vernissage titled “GARDENS OF THE WORLD” for the painting and sculpture collection took place in Vienna, Austria.
