IN-SIDE ARTISTS
The IN-SIDE Collective is made up of four women, each carrying her own story, dreams, and reflections. Since 2023, we have joined our creative paths, exploring the inner landscapes that shape who we are. Our name reflects the essence of who we are and the unique paths we follow.
We invite you to step inside and discover the personal realms that inspire our art.

Katarzyna Łukaszewicz
She graduated with distinction from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, majoring in Graphic Design. In her work, she combines emotion and metaphor to create visual narratives that leave a lasting impression. Her creative process is deeply introspective—memories, emotions, and dreams are key sources of inspiration. Each element of her work, from color to line and composition, carries a unique energy. Carefully arranged, these elements form multilayered works that invite viewers to explore multiple levels of meaning. She explores the boundaries of graphic aesthetics, producing projects that are not only visually striking but also rich in content and emotion. She works on both individual pieces and collective projects, engaging diverse audiences in the process.

Art therapy is the inspiration and common thread in her visual language, allowing her to explore the impact of creativity on emotional development and self-awareness. She is the founder of the Informal Studio at Cechowa in Bydgoszcz and engages in local and international artistic projects with both educational and creative dimensions.
