Me
Dear Walkers, I want to be very honest with you…
If you expect me to enlist all my art school diplomas, you won’t find them here. You’ll find a woman with a passion instead. I’m a self-made artist.
I was born in Warsaw and I studied philology here on the University of Warsaw. I led my professional life in business area. That was an interesting time dealing with sales, but I could never leave art behind. This is an intrinsic part of me. So even when I was travelling on business, I used to take my sketchbook with me, and part of my artistic ideas was created in hotel rooms. The irresistible need to create has always been part of my life since early childhood. Kids love to draw, but I never grew out of it. At heart, I’m still that child enjoying plain sheet of paper and a pencil. I’ve never felt any need to graduate from art school, though. Why? I don’t know. Maybe the time is yet to come. For now, I just love to create, it’s very rewarding and satisfying in itself. I would like to show you my works, that has been created over the span of years and some of them have been showcased on Polish and foreign exhibitions.
I am Milena Laura Grąbczewska. Why Milena Laura Art? These are my both names. My parents were indecisive which one should be the first and the second one… Milena is closer to my heart – that was my father’s choice: and he was the best and closest man on the earth to me. Laura was my mom’s preference. She was so inventive and creative, that one life seemed too short to get to know her. And then Art – the choice of the word is mine, and comes from my admiration to art in the broad sense of the term: painting, theater, sculpture, music… Without art, the world would be a dismal place. Piano is my next love. I write lyrics and compose accompanying music. If you’re curious, you’ll find more info on that in “Music”section.
I’m so glad I could tell you something about myself. Enjoy your time here!
