Artists in the Spotlight - Joanna Tyka, Painter

Today, we invite you to join us for a new episode of the KF Artists In The Spotlight released on the KOSCIUSZKO TV Youtube Channel. In this episode, we will interview the painter, Joanna Tyka. Visit with us her studio in Richmond, VA and discover her abstract art.

Joanna graduated with honors from the Academy of Fine Arts and had a show at the Zacheta Museum, one of the most prestigious art institutions in Poland. She worked in design -- on graphics, fashion, and tapestry -- and as a sailing correspondent. In Germany, she won many art awards, including the Altona Prize in Hamburg, and her work was exhibited in many museums. Yet she was looking for new inspiration, and finally moved to Miami.

The Tyka style has allowed her to create strong relationships with fine art societies and galleries in the United States and Europe. She has had many commissions, especially from the world of music. She has done set design for concerts and music festivals. The Florida International University Music Festival has used Tyka art during its concerts. Her paintings have been exhibited under the auspices of the Miami City Ballet.
