Aleksandra Poplawska is a Panel and Wall Painting Conservationist. Spending days, weeks and months looking at old and often rare paintings has greatly influenced her own art. The attention to fine detail and precise observation required in her work has not only helped her to acquire an empirical knowledge for painting techniques, mediums, and compositional layout but has given her greater understanding of artistic style and expression of thought. It seems obvious to say that her work is not only influenced by her chosen subject but by paint and painting itself.
