KSANA (Aleksandra Naparło-Czyż)
born on March 12th, 1981 in Katowice
A Graduate of Academy of Fine Arts, Katowice
Graphic Art Section
Diploma with honors at Roman Kalarus’ Poster Design Studio (May 2006)
I’m mainly involved with graphic art and posters, but also with graphic and clothing design and other artistic actions like happening etc.
I’m fascinated with Japanese Manga since years but in the characters that I draw You can find also an influence of American Comics. Pop art was always a big issue in my works but rather as a fascination than an object of criticism.
