My name is Wiktoria Kuczewska. I was born in 2003 and I spent a significant part of my childhood in Kruszyn Krajeński, Poland. I graduated from the Leon Wyczółkowski State Secondary School of Fine Arts in Bydgoszcz, where I completed my diploma in graphic design. In 2022, I was awarded the Grand Prix at the 18th National Open-Air Drawing and Painting Workshop named after Krystyna Drążkiewicz for the most talented senior students of art high schools. As a result, I received a direct admission (index) to pursue studies at the Faculty of Painting and Drawing at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts in Poznań. In 2023, I began my education at this university.
Since 2024, I have been represented by the Polish gallery Galeria Wiele Sztuki.
