"&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;bio&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;Irena Siwek was born in Cracow, Poland, moved in to United\nStates in 1992. Upon earning her degree in Mathematics from Dominican\nUniversity in River Forest IL, she realized her life\u2019s first passion was art\nnot math. Since then she pursued self-studies in both art and graphic design,\nand never looked back. Her drawings are showed in Galleries and are in private\ncollections around the world. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n\n&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;technique &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;Irena is transforming various dense graphical patterns using\nink pens, acrylic ink &amp;amp; markers into organic and captivating drawings. She\nuses kaleidoscopic arrays of forms, lines, objects, circles, dots, curves to\nsuggest the invisible energy surrounding the object. &lt;/p&gt;\n\n\n\n&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;statement &lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt;Visual art is one of the most beautiful forms of expression,\nmisunderstood and unappreciated by many. My drawing is a goal in itself. I\ndon\u2019t create art; I draw. It is an adventure in which I seduce myself. It\u2019s an\nexperience, a pleasure that has no equal. It is a journey without an end, a\nride with endless possibilities, where good and bad are found in human\nexistence. Drawing increases my heart beat, which seems to in turn compose\nmusic for my illustrations. This harmony of sounds and pictures is my world, my\nlife, my childhood memory, my family. Inspirations are mine alone, close and\ndear to me. Everyday experiences of prosaic life are the best and the most\nimportant. It all depends on the point of view. Living is a miracle. And we\nonly get one chance at it. The journey ends the same for all of us. However we\nare responsible for the moral of its story. To understand something one must go\nto the source of the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=\"MsoNormal\"&gt; matter. To appreciate my art one ought to look into my\nsoul. I create so people can see and experience my most inner and deepest\nfeelings. There is only one reality, its truth uncovered in pictures. No one\nhas ever done its portrait the best. There is no best. Someone will always try\nagain.&lt;span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I find myself there now,\nand only time will show how I portray reality\u2019s face.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
