Ekaterina Shramko
Born on the Siberian Island on Lake Baikal. Much to her parents' anguish, she liked to 'waste time' staring at the waves for hours.
She use the language of graphics, video and animation, but the word painter (according to herself) describes her the best.
The admiration for simple things and processes is the leitmotif of her art.
Minimalism in graphics, losing and finding boundaries in painting and writing stories with movement in animation is what fascinates her the most.
She studied graphic arts and painting, in 2023 she graduated Academy of Fine Arts. E. Geppert in Wrocław at the Faculty of Photography and Multimedia.
Currently she live and work in the Kaczawskie Mountains in Poland.
