Agata Kluźniak was born in Warsaw in 1979. After completing secondary education she moved to Poznań to study at the Fine Arts Academy renown for its printmaking department. She studied there in the years 1999-2006, eventually obtaining an MA in the Fine Arts. During that time she concentrated mostly on learning etching, lithography, drawing and painting. After years of life-drawing she recognised her key to understanding abstract images and became very drawn to ways of creating based on the process. This was like an opening of a new world, one of an organic order, with fluid boundaries. Agata sees art practice as a process of constant learning and opening of the mind. For her, this process started in Poznań.
Close to the end of her studies she started a family and moved with her partner to Ireland shortly after.
In 2011 she became a member of the Cork Printmakers, a printmaking cooperative based in Cork city.
She now is a mother of three beautiful daughters and continues to live and create on the West coast of Ireland.
