About The Artist

Małgorzata Kisielewska was born in Wąbrzeźno, a small town in Poland, Pomeranian Province. In 1981 she graduated from the hydro-engineering department of the Gdansk University of Technology and started work as an engineer. In 1985 her artistic talents came to the fore once again when she took up painting and started to express her everyday emotions artistically on a larger scale. Between 1985 and 1990 she completed about fifty oil paintings. Part of this collection was sold at charity auctions in Sweden. After a break of almost 10 years, she began painting again to express her everyday feelings and emotions. Painting became a form of her escape from everyday life. This time she used watercolors as means of expression. Competitions: After the artist had won the competition in 2002, her watercolors were presented on a one-author exhibition held in 2003 in the Palais de l’Europe in Strasbourg (France) in the exhibitions organized by the Arts Club of the Council of Europe Staff Amicale. - 2012 – May - Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery Nature Art Competition - Honorable Mention - Painting & Other Media Category Awarded. - 2014 – February – ARTAVITA 9th Art Contest – Certificate of Honor - 2014 – March - Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery – ALL WOMEN - Art Competition – Special Recognition Award - Painting & Other Media Category Awarded. - 2015 – January – ARTAVITA 11th Art Contest – Certificate of Excellence.

The works donated for that purpose aroused much interest and significantly contributed to the club’s help for disadvantaged children. The works of the painter may be found in private collections on three continents: in Europe (Poland, Sweden, England, France, Belgium, Denmark), in America (the USA) and in Australia.
