I must admit that if I were asked to play a character from Dostoyevsky or Shakespeare’s dramas, I probably wouldn’t be able to say no. There is something so complex and profound in their characters that, no matter the stage of my life, always invites me to explore the world — and myself — even more deeply and on different levels.

Right now, I feel a strong need and desire to perform in a comedy. I’ve discovered that I’m funnier than I ever thought, and I would love to embrace that and can’t wait for the opportunity.

     There are two things I would advise young actors starting their careers in Poland today: staying curious and willing to try new things, and constantly asking themselves what truly belongs to them and what does not.

*

 

      I feel that art should not be bound by any philosophy. That doesn’t mean we don’t need structure, motivation, inspiration, or discipline—these things are important and can make us more visible or expand our artistic capacity. But if we try to define a strict artistic philosophy, will it still be art? I don’t know, but I feel that it should be related to our values and to the natural, limitless curiosity and free spirit within each of us. As an artist, it is my responsibility to choose it each time.

​

      The responsibility of art should be one thing: creating in service of ourselves

so it can serves the others.

*

​

       For me, success as an artist and as a human being are deeply connected. It means constantly learning how to take responsibility for myself and my environment

but also learning to listen to my deepest desires. Another very important part of success is finding peace in chaos, and the last is trust - in myself and in a higher order. None of these things are always easy to achieve, but I believe they are worth striving for.

*

​

       I always listen to my heart and my gut.  I’m learning how to be deeply honest with myself even more and more each day.

*

​

       For me, freedom begins with acceptance. It means moments of stillness, responsibility, and acting in accordance with my beliefs — without separating my private life from my art. The two overlap and are always connected, even if they manifest themselves in different ways.

*

​

      I would never compromise on consciously trying to choosing light over dark.

*

​

        I used to want to give a voice to those who don't have one. Although this is still very important to me, I realized that I needed to give myself that voice first. Today, I know that my path in life, regardless of what I do, will always be connected with creative expression—that beautiful madness and freedom of creation, contact with other people, respect for my intuition, as well as not listening to voices telling me that what I want to create is impossible (because it hasn't been created yet!). Acting allows me to develop many of these aspects, but if I can no longer do so through acting, I will do it in a different way, till the end.

         Film sets are definitely more technical, for me the best part is the preparation—when curiosity takes over. Theater is a slightly different medium, and for me it's probably easier to work with, although on one hand it can be ruthless — it won't let a lie slip by, it verifies immediately. On the other hand, I feel a lot of freedom thanks to the possibility of almost infinite improvisation within an already existing work, and I love that. With film, such freedom is a bit more difficult to achieve due to the nature of a specific project, but the impact on the viewer is just as strong. Both of these mediums are unique and important to me.​

     The most transformative role for me was Eva in Growing, written and directed by Agata Wieczorek. It is a body-horror film based on hyperminimalism in portraying a character. Through a biological process, Eva undergoes a profound transformation — from a robotic person controlled by the system into a woman who allows herself to feel her own emotions and face reality, ultimately making a difficult choice that burdens her yet frees her from systemic and family oppression. It was an extraordinary, crazy, and strange journey for which I will always be grateful to the screenwriter.

     I feel a need to watch and create more abstract and fantasy works in Polish cinema. I’m constantly searching for roles that are more characteristic and that go against my physical type.

     Although each role requires a different, fresh approach, it has always been important for me to take a close look at my feelings right after reading the text for the first time. That initial contact with the material can be both very superficial and incredibly inspiring at a later stage—when we are deep into the process and think we already know everything. Of course, doing research, looking for the character in my body, writing, listening to the music (or rather the character's soundtrack—that's what I call it) that triggers various emotional processes in me—these are the constants in my work on a role. In addition, I feel that a real creative process is always based on collaboration. There is something deeply moving about working with others, even though I also value the solitude of creating very much.

​

     There are so many people who will always inspire me — Susan Sontag and her approach to art, Rick Rubin’s podcast, Orson Welles’s works and statements, C. G. Jung’s books, and following Jane Goodall’s life journey. However, the people who have had the greatest influence on my work are often those who are less well-known but present in my everyday life. Observing them, drawing conclusions, interacting with them — this is an endless source of inspiration.

     Technically the most challenging role for me was Blake from a movie called Verified Target - a thriller with elements of action. It was very challenging for me to play in an action movie but also very interesting to learn how to work with the camera during stunt scenes. The help of the stunt team was invaluable.

​

     I am not sure if I can actually deal with vulnerability and exposure so well. I think I’m learning it all the time. Now I’m using many tools to feel more comfortable but the truth is that sometimes it’s just harder than we suspect. However, I still value moments when we influence others through our work, or when others influence us with their reactions and reflections - it is a constant exchange.

​*

​

     I feel responsible for working on authenticity in order to create something unique that can serve other people — perfection that lies in its imperfection. It's the most beautiful thing. I believe that this is what enriches cinema with meaningful and visible roles.​
