WHO IS KINGANNA

Anna Maria Kinga Drag, known by friends as Kinga.

 

I was close to art through all my life. 

My parents are artists. I grew up in workshops surrounded by things which were used to prepare all kind of art. My mum was doing oil and acryl paintings and worked as a Window Dresser (Display Designer) and my dad was creating unique furniture based on his own design. 

I loved smell of oil paint. When it came time to choose my own life path I knew  what I always wanted to do. So I went to study art.

I choose to explore the field of clay and for many years I trained to become a master in this subject.

Then, after I graduated I had a few years break doing other not-art related things as I wanted to be sure what I really wanted to do. And one day

I realised that art is what I want and need to do. It was a long journey but was worth all the experience. It helped me realise who I really am and what are my needs. What I love and what I dislike. I met many great people  who helped me find the path I'm on at the moment. And I gave thanks to them here :) 

 

Life is so short and it's important  to treasure every moment and live life to the fullest. Appreciate things as they are now, pursue dreams and do things that matter the most. Love, explore the world, grab opportunities and grow to become better person in every aspect.
