Krzemińska Marzena
In 2006, I graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław under the supervision of Professor Małgorzata Dajewska. From 2007, I worked in the diploma studio of artistic glass led by Professor Małgorzata Dajewska. In 2018, I received my PhD at the same academy. I served as Dean of the Faculty of Ceramics and Glass from 2020 to 2024.
Since 2016, I have been engaged in internationalization initiatives at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław. I observe places and surroundings carefully, sketching memories of nature and historical moments to capture moods, atmospheres, and shapes. I use glass as a medium to explore the process of form creation, experimenting and observing its behavior, allowing gravity to reveal subtle details that invite reflection and contemplation.
