Curriculum Vitae
Daria Andrews
About
Daria Andrews is a visual full-time artist, born in 1975 in Poland, lives and works in
Launceston, Tasmania.
She started painting in early childhood, but her professional life as an artist began,
when in her forties she met Alfons Kułakowski, a ninety-year-old painter, later her
friend and mentor. She paints figures caught in mysterious, emotional moments,
often naked, deformed, or fragmented, enveloped by bold colors, surrounded by
imaginary creatures and mystical symbols.
Daria builds a personal relation with her audience, inviting them into her intimate
world via a captured gesture, gaze or shifting focal point. Through her art she shows
the importance of personal transformation by finding her own ways of expression,
self-confidence, and freedom.
Daria held four solo exhibitions in Poland and Australia, her oil paintings and
watercolors have been sold to collectors all over the world (e.g. Poland, Netherlands,
China, US, Vietnam, Australia).
