About me

Hi, I'm Agnieszka Bielaniec. My creative journey began in 2017, when a beautiful soul placed a camera in my hands for the very first time. I took a few photographs, focusing on composition and framing. In photography, I searched for geometry, mathematical patterns, and the interplay of light and shadow. That was the moment my need to create truly awakened. Not long after, I bought my first camera. I photographed everything around me: people, nature, and architecture. I also spent time in front of the camera myself, which helped me understand how important a photographer's words, guidance, and the atmosphere of a session can be in helping someone feel comfortable and confident. I hold a Master's degree in Finance and spent several years working in banking. Mathematics has always been close to my heart, and I still find its harmony, proportions, and structure reflected in both photography and painting. Over the years, I also fell in love with paints and brushes, which offer complete creative freedom. Photography and painting became two different ways for me to express myself. Today, I create studio portraits, carefully building each image with intention. I choose the background, shape the light, and create a mood, working together with the person in front of the camera to tell a story. Here, I have control over many elements of the creative process. Painting is entirely different. I let go of control. There is no plan and no expectation. There is only a blank canvas, intuition, and inspiration that arrives when it is ready. This is how artworks are created, often surprising even me. For me, both photography and painting are not only forms of art, but also a way of connecting with something deeper within ourselves.
