I graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in Media Art, and my diploma was realized as a woodcarver. In my practice, I combine painting, textiles, video, performance, and digital media, creating spatial compositions that balance tradition with contemporary artistic methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-1024x685.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1924\" style=\"width:508px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-1024x685.png 1024w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-1536x1028.png 1536w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-170101-2048x1371.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">My signature style involves large-format works that combine painting and textiles. I build a unique formal language by merging sewn and painted elements with fragments of clothing. I am interested in the tension between color and form, the relationships between texture and meaning, and the construction of narratives through composition and layering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">I address personal, social, and existential themes. I am actively involved in the culture sector, collaborating with artistic organizations in Poland and abroad. I have experience in international and intercultural projects. In my art, I have explored and continue to explore imagination, altered states of perception, and cultural diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3513-1024x739.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1925\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.385694702040158;width:521px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3513-1024x739.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3513-300x216.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3513-768x554.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3513.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3512-1024x739.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1926\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3856701816286436;width:514px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3512-1024x739.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3512-300x216.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3512-768x554.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3512.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">While studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, I developed my practice in the field of working with fabric, treating it as a medium for painting and performance. Working with fabric opened me up to a softer, process-oriented approach to creation\u2014one based on intuition, transformation, and the fluidity of form. For me, this medium has become a tool for constructing narratives rooted in bodily experience, identity, and relationality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"878\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1930\" src=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-165608-878x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-165608-878x1024.png 878w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-165608-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-165608-768x895.png 768w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-07-165608.png 928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1929\" src=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/kadidiaba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_3515-edited.jpeg 1324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Even as a teenager, I was developing my artistic practice through woodcarving, earning a degree in woodcarving that covered both small-scale forms and large-scale sculptures. Working with a material as demanding as wood taught me precision, patience, and a mindful approach to the creative process\u2014from concept to execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">My experience as a woodcarver continues to have a strong influence on my artistic language. Spatial thinking, sensitivity to structure, the weight and texture of materials, and the relationship between form and the body are also present in my later work, including performance and media art. Sculpture has shaped my approach to building narratives through form\u2014physical, organic, and rooted in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biogram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2021<\/strong><br>March 3 \u2013 Publication in Zine Without a Crown Vol. XI, p. 37<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2020<\/strong><br>July 16 \u2013 Group exhibition \u201eThis is Poland\u201d at the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw, as part of Professor Miros\u0142aw Ba\u0142ka's Spatial Activities Workshop at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2019<\/strong><br>June 21-23 \u2013 Outdoor art event in Kazimierz Dolny \u201eAKETOKSY, KREATION CONNECTION\u201d organized by No Budget Show and PKO bp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2018<\/strong><br>Beginning studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Faculty of Media Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2017<\/strong><br>December 11 \u2013 International Performance Platform Festival Lublin 2017 at Labirynt Gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>2016<\/strong><br>Diploma of a Visual Artist\/Woodcarver from the Cyprian Kamil Norwid High School of Fine Arts in Lublin.<br>September 6-10 \u2013 International Biennial of Contemporary Art Week in Lviv as part of the active Performance Art School of the Labirynt Gallery.<br>June 9 - \u201eAsia Live!
