I have graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland. Since then, I have been painting, mainly oil portraits. I am most interested in capturing the aura of the person rather than their physical representation. I am striving to transport the viewer into their own emotions about what they are looking at. I am trying to paint in an original manner retaining at the same time a tranditional style school. During my study period, I engaged a lot in group exhibitions, the experience which allowed me to present find my voice among other voices and contributed to the understanding of my strengths as an artist. I specialize in women portraits but I am also a keen children painter. I have done a lot of pictures of pairs as presents for weddings, anniversaries etc. I like painting faces as I believe they bear traces of thoughts and feelings of their owners. http://www.courtpainter.co.uk/about/
