Ella Kowalska was born in 1982 in Poland. After living shortly in the USA she did her university studies in France, where she lives today. She obtained two Masters degrees, one in law of cultural heritage and another in art history, then became a screenwriter and director for the movies. Her first long feature "Sun" was selected in numerous international festivals, before its theatre release in 2019. Investing photography since, Ella studied photography at Gobelins school in Paris in 2022. An independent photographer since, she practices street, documentary, and art photography, all in colour. Particularly sensitive to the colours, materials, and sounds that give the world its texture, she constantly seeks to achieve the right balance between realism and fantasy, as she does in different reflection photography projects throughout her last year’s body of work. Driven by the desire to give an account of our times, she is in a quest of a form of "augmented reality" able to tell our modernity and believes in hybridation of forms, treatments and subjects, sensing that the most improbable blends or encounters are often the most fruitful ones.
