Ewa has lived in Warsaw for most of her life but was raised in Podlasie, a region in northeastern Poland that shaped her closeness to nature and her appreciation for cultural diversity. Though she spent many years working in the business world, it was through nature photography that she discovered her true passion and artistic language. For over 15 years, she has been developing a distinctive style defined by simplicity, muted colours, and a strong sense of compositional harmony.
A pivotal moment in her journey came one misty autumn morning, when she photographed cranes rising from the wetlands at dawn. Since then, birds have remained at the heart of her work. While she often ventures to remote parts of the world – especially the polar regions – she continues to return to familiar Polish landscapes. She is drawn to silence, open space, and the quiet rhythm of nature, especially where light and details form emotionally charged yet understated scenes.
Her work goes beyond capturing reality; it reflects a personal interpretation of the world, echoing Susan Sontag’s view in On Photography: “(…) photographs are evidence not only of what is there, but of what the photographer sees: not just a record, but a personal judgement about the world.”
Ewa’s distinctive style has been recognised and appreciated by fellow artists. In their reflections, they often highlight the striking minimalism in her images, the atmosphere of serenity, and her precise focus on composition.
While photographing nature she seeks harmony in the images. „Nature is complete and perfectly balanced. It remains in constant motion. I appreciate its variability and unpredictability. It delights with the play of light, changes colours and creates shadows while it comes to life in spring and sheds leaves in autumn.”
Her work has earned recognition in leading international photography competitions, such as Nature Photographer of the Year or International Wildbird Photo Competition. In 2025, her image “dreaming to fly” won the Man and Nature category at the XIX Asferico International Nature Photography Competition and was featured on the cover of the official catalogue.
