Karolina Jonc Buczek is a Polish illustrator and graphic designer based in South London. In her practice, she mostly works with themes of body positivity, mental health, Polish culture and often provides a visual commentary on current social and political situations.
Having a good experience with Adobe Creative Suite and Procreate, Karolina's artwork is mostly produced digitally but having her background in fine art education, she is also skilled in traditional media such as drawing, painting and sculpting. She recently started animating her illustrations and creating motion graphics such as GIFs.
Karolina is passionate about promoting different body types, women empowerment and feminist agenda, and raising awareness of mental health issues through her personal experiences. Whilst tackling serious subjects, she works with bright colours and often uses humour in her illustrations.
Karolina’s aesthetic is inspired by 90’s/00’s cartoons, pop culture and mainstream fantasy.
