Katarzyna Bułka Matłacz

Polish sculptor born in Warsaw. She graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Sculpture. She studied under professors: Gustaw Zemla, Jan Kucz, Piotr Gawron, Stanisław Kulon, Janusz Pastwa and Tadeusz Łodziany.

She was awarded a Master of Arts degree in 1991 and a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and Art in 1996. She is a member of the Association of Polish Artists in Warsaw and the French Association Art'PAIR International.

Katarzyna Bulka Matłacz's works are a poetry of accurate mental shortcuts encapsulated in a surreal form, creating complete stories with deep philosophical meaning.

The sculptor uses the lost-wax technique, a casting method known as far back as antiquity.This method of making artistic bronze casts requires exceptional patience and great precision on the part of the artist. 

After many years of experimentation, she also developed a proprietary technique for melting glass in a high-temperature furnace.

Using this technique, she creates unique sculptures in glass, combining them with bronze elements. For one of these, she received an award at the Paris Art Competition. 

She is the author of many prestigious statuettes and awards for, among others:

European Bridge League (HALL of FAME), Puls Biznesu (GAZELE BIZNESU), 

TVN (ZWYKŁY BOHATER), Polska Akademia Nauk (CHEMICZNE MARZENIE)

WPROST (PORTFEL WPROST), TVN Turbo (MĘSKA RZECZ)

He works on a permanent basis with art galleries in Poland, the Netherlands, the UK, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Germany and France.
