The artist was born in 1952 in Poland. In the years 1973-1978 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under the direction of Prof. Mieczysław Wejman. In the years 1984-1985 studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf under the direction of Prof. Günter Uecker. In 1985 she was awarded with the City of Aachen Prize for her achievements in the area of plastic arts. She collaborates with the one and only Museum of Women’s Art in Europe. Her forms of artistic expression include printmaking, painting, artistic book and installations. In the middle of the seventies she started to create her ‘Small Gardens’, the interventions in the world of nature, which are close to the experiences of land-art. In the years 1986–1988 she created the ‘Library for Miriam’, a kind of artistic diary which came into being in result of repainting patterns of wall papers and superposing various texts on each other. Brygida Wróbel-Kulik is an artist, who has consistently subordinated all her plastic creation to the idea of topography of a place, idea of creating her own imaginary space, a specific place, chosen and elevated to an almost sanctified level with personal mythology and experiences. Her ‘layer pictures’, being a kind of the maps of still uncharted and undiscovered places and ‘blank pages’, reflect the conceptions of psychological topography, which are close to theories of Gaston Bachelard.

The exhibition prepared in collaboration with the region of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Düsseldorf.
