Monika Chlebek (1986, Cracow). Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow; graduated in painting under Prof. Leszek Misiak in 2011.
She lives and works in Cracow. In her works she very often portrays dogs and parts of the human body. She composes these representations in a very close frame, which makes them exceptionally intense in perception.
