Karolina Sekuła Polish artist based in London, primarily using photography as a medium. She adopts personal stories and experiences to contextualize wider problems such as solitude, inequality and imbalances in a chaotic modern world. The target of her interest is the human psyche, behavior and individualism. Born in 1984 in Poland. In 2006 she obtained a diploma from Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design in Photography degree.
Her first experiences were as a photography editor in the most influential Polish and international newspapers and magazines (Newsweek, Bloomberg Businessweek, Wired, Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita, Przekrój). Although photojournalism and documentary are important to her, they have become too limited. She has reached for mixed media which helps translate her ideas and thoughts in a less direct way and shows new possibilities and perspectives of exploration. Exhibited her works at various Photography Festivals (Łódź, Bratislava, Los Angeles). She is a winner of Polish Press awards in Portrait of the year category.
