Inspiratie

Alicja Wieczorek is een artiest, ontwerpster, architect en interieur ontwerpster. Haar passie is het creëren van schoonheid in een menselijke wereld. Als 11-jarige, had ze een portret van haar vader getekend (te vinden onder ‘Volwassenenportretten’). Haar talent werd herkend en in de jaren daarna ontwikkelde zij zich door het volgen van lessen bij verschillende kunst scholen. Tegelijkertijd had ze gekozen voor een carrière in de architectuur. Na jaren van werken als architect, besloot zij een eigen bedrijf op te richten. Over de jaren heen, realiseerde zij meer en meer dat menselijke factoren, essentieel zijn voor haar. Nu werkt Alicja op een kleinere schaal (interieur ontwerp), zodat zij dichterbij de mensen kan zijn. Samen met haar eindeloze creatieve capaciteiten, maakt haar dit tot een volledig mens.
