Her artistic practice encompasses drawing, painting, and textile art. She creates works inspired by the still life, human figure and nature.
Her debut exhibition, titled Debut<\/i>, took place in December 2005 at the ALTERNATYWA Gallery in Gda\u0144sk.\u00a0<\/span>
She lived and worked in the United States between 2008 and 2014, and since 2022, she has been living and creating in both Florida and Poland.\u00a0<\/span>
During her time in the U.S., she attended the studios of Barbara Wasserman, Susan Hanssen, Jacqueline Downey, and Roumen Boudev at the Boca Raton Museum of Art \u2013 The Art School in Florida.
She also refined her skills at the Gda\u0144sk School of Art in the studios of Ada Majdzi\u0144ska and Pawe\u0142 Karczewski.
Ewa Kali\u0144ska is also the creator of religious paintings for the Chapel of St. Polycarp in Gda\u0144sk, Poland.<\/p>\n
When creating a nude, portrait, or still life, I seek a balance between faithful observation and personal interpretation. The closer I remain to reality, the more naturally my own visual language emerges. At a certain moment, intuition takes over, allowing me to move beyond representation and bring a more personal dimension into the work. \u00a0<\/span>
An important part of my practice is textile creation. I begin with drawing from nature, then work with materials such as silk and taffeta and others, carefully constructing each piece by hand. Fabric allows me to explore texture, movement, and depth in a tactile and intimate way.
I also create mixed-media works that combine drawing with textile elements. This connection between line and material creates a dialogue between precision and softness, structure and fluidity.
My oil paintings are inspired by the rich flora of Florida. Tropical flowers\u2014with their vibrant colors and intricate forms\u2014offer endless possibilities for exploration. I translate these motifs into expressive compositions focused on light, color, and atmosphere.
Living and working between Florida and Poland shapes my artistic perspective. These two environments offer different rhythms, light, and moods, which naturally influence my work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Kszta\u0142ci\u0142a si\u0119 w Europejskiej Akademii Sztuk w Warszawie pod kierunkiem profesor\u00f3w Barbara Szubi\u0144ska, Franciszek Starowieyski oraz Jerzy Duda-Gracz \u2014 wybitnych przedstawicieli polskiej sztuki.

Bra\u0142a r\u00f3wnie\u017c udzia\u0142 w licznych artystycznych wyjazdach do Stan\u00f3w Zjednoczonych i W\u0142och.
Jest cz\u0142onkini\u0105 Stowarzyszenia Polskich Artyst\u00f3w Plastyk\u00f3w oraz Gda\u0144skiego Towarzystwa Przyjaci\u00f3\u0142 Sztuki.

Jej wystawa debiutancka pt. Debiut<\/i> odby\u0142a si\u0119 w grudniu 2005 roku w Galerii ALTERNATYWA w Gda\u0144sku.
W latach 2008\u20132014 mieszka\u0142a i tworzy\u0142a na Florydzie w Stanach Zjednoczonych, a od 2022 roku dzieli swoje \u017cycie i prac\u0119 artystyczn\u0105 mi\u0119dzy Floryd\u0119 i Polsk\u0119.\u00a0<\/span>
Podczas pobyt\u00f3w w USA ucz\u0119szcza\u0142a do pracowni Barbary Wasserman, Susan Hanssen, Jacqueline Downey oraz Roumen\u2019a Boudev w The Art School przy Boca Raton Museum of Art na Florydzie.
Doskonali\u0142a r\u00f3wnie\u017c swoje umiej\u0119tno\u015bci w Gda\u0144skiej Szkole Artystycznej w pracowniach Ady Majdzi\u0144skiej i Paw\u0142a Karczewskiego.
Ewa Kali\u0144ska jest r\u00f3wnie\u017c autork\u0105 obraz\u00f3w o tematyce religijnej dla Kaplicy \u015bw. Polikarpa w Gda\u0144sku.<\/p>\n
Tworz\u0105c akt, portret czy martw\u0105 natur\u0119, poszukuj\u0119 r\u00f3wnowagi mi\u0119dzy wiern\u0105 obserwacj\u0105 a osobist\u0105 interpretacj\u0105. Im bli\u017cej pozostaj\u0119 rzeczywisto\u015bci, tym bardziej naturalnie wy\u0142ania si\u0119 m\u00f3j w\u0142asny j\u0119zyk wizualny. W pewnym momencie intuicja przejmuje prowadzenie, pozwalaj\u0105c mi wyj\u015b\u0107 poza czyst\u0105 reprezentacj\u0119 i wprowadzi\u0107 do pracy bardziej osobisty wymiar.
Istotn\u0105 cz\u0119\u015bci\u0105 mojej pracy jest tworzenie tkaniny artystycznej. Zaczynam od rysunku z natury, a nast\u0119pnie pracuj\u0119 z materia\u0142ami takimi jak jedwab, tafta czy inne, starannie konstruuj\u0105c ka\u017cdy element r\u0119cznie. Tkanina pozwala mi bada\u0107 faktur\u0119, ruch i g\u0142\u0119bi\u0119.
Tworz\u0119 r\u00f3wnie\u017c prace w technice mieszanej, \u0142\u0105cz\u0105ce rysunek z elementami tkaniny. To zestawienie linii i materii buduje dialog pomi\u0119dzy precyzj\u0105 a mi\u0119kko\u015bci\u0105, struktur\u0105 a p\u0142ynno\u015bci\u0105.
Moje obrazy olejne inspirowane s\u0105 bogactwem flory Florydy. Tropikalne kwiaty \u2014 dzi\u0119ki swojej intensywnej kolorystyce i z\u0142o\u017conym formom \u2014 daj\u0105 nieograniczone mo\u017cliwo\u015bci eksploracji. Przekszta\u0142cam te motywy w ekspresyjne kompozycje skoncentrowane na \u015bwietle, kolorze i atmosferze.
\u017bycie i praca pomi\u0119dzy Floryd\u0105 a Polsk\u0105 kszta\u0142tuj\u0105 moj\u0105 perspektyw\u0119 artystyczn\u0105. Te dwa \u015brodowiska oferuj\u0105 odmienne rytmy, \u015bwiat\u0142o i nastroje, kt\u00f3re naturalnie wp\u0142ywaj\u0105 na moj\u0105 tw\u00f3rczo\u015b\u0107.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
