About me

Katarzyna Rymorz

I graduated from the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. In my studio in Cieszyn, Poland, I paint oil paintings inspired by the art of the past. I also create interpretations – copies – of Old Master paintings. My great love is the art of the Netherlands of the 16th and 17th centuries.

A passion for detail and precision has led me to specialise in still lifes, especially flower pieces, and in portraits. I am fascinated by the techniques and the process behind the old masterpieces, and I keep refining my craft by studying the works of the artists I admire.

Repeating the work of a great master is, for me, a tribute to the excellence of the original. I paint for people who love the Old Masters and want to bring the wonder of the great museums into their own homes. I believe that living with art can bring beauty and comfort into our everyday lives.

The studio

How a copy is made

Every copy means many hours of work and a “conversation” with an Old Master – about his craft, light, colour and the story of how the work came to be.

I

Studying the original

Each copy begins with an in-depth study of the subject, the technique and the history of the original.

II

Old Master techniques

Oil paint on linen canvas, underpainting and glazes, layer by layer – just as in a 17th-century workshop.

III

The finest materials

Professional pigments and durable supports, finished with a satin varnish. The painting will last for decades, even centuries.

IV

Certificate

Your painting arrives ready to hang, with a certificate describing the technique, materials and original.

Detail and texture

The body of the paint, the brushstrokes, the depth of the layers – you can see and feel it all. You can lose yourself in a hand-painted work. No reproduction can give you that.

Original works

Selected works

Original compositions and still lifes inspired by the art of the past. They are created using traditional painting techniques drawn from the Renaissance and the Baroque.

In the interior

How will the painting look in your home?

A classic work becomes the focal point of a room – bringing history, soul and elegance. Before you decide, I can prepare a visualisation of the painting in a photo of your space.
