Biography - Gina Koltonowska

"I think of myself as a ‘young artist’ born in Warsaw, Poland and graduated as Interior Designer, followed by post graduated education studies of Art and Design at De Montfort University in Leicester, after which I have been teaching till present day. I started painting 4 years ago when time and place was right, having experienced many years of teaching art and design to children with severe and profound learning difficulties and realizing that for some children art is the only means of communication and expression. It is without any doubt and more, as I discovered that it motives and inspires me to develop artistically and to address some of my personal needs. My passion for watercolours, mixed media, batik, mono printing, 3-dimensional work, acrylics, textiles and other techniques grows with each piece of work and stimulates my creativity to go on to continuum. I am always interested in new materials, techniques and different cultures which take me to many different dimensions of art and encourage me to communicate. These keep me fresh minded and make me feel young at heart which is often reflected in the fresh, youthful and bright colours that I use to express, and themes that I enjoy and keep me fascinated. Over the past two years I have had several local exhibitions in England as well as in Europe – in Poland, Slovakia, Netherlands and Italy. The latter exhibition is the 2nd International Biennial Pastel exhibition which is currently traveling in Europe over two years. I’m also taking part in an exhibition ‘Art for Peace in Europe’ sponsored by UNESCO which is taking place in Serbia in March 2005 and then also will be traveling to Italy."
