Karolina Gacke
I was born in 1975 in Warsaw, Poland and grew up in Nigeria. After graduating in „African Culture and Literature“ at the University of Warsaw, I started travelling the world. This exposure to different countries and cultures has a strong imprint on my artistic expression.
Currently I live and work in Brixen (Südtirol, Italy) and Bangkok (Thailand).
Member of the artist association SÜDTIROLER KÜNSTLERBUND.
