Beata Ulikowska

Beata Joanna Ulikowska is a dynamic and multifaceted painter, illustrator, and drawer born in Bielsk Podlaski, Poland, now thriving in the vibrant artistic community of Northampton, England. With a rich academic foundation—including a Master's degree in History from the University of Warsaw, a Bachelor's in Theology from the Drohiczyn University, and a Level 3 Diploma in Forensic Psychology—Beata brings a profound intellectual depth to her work. Her diverse passions for theater, film, opera, travel, and literature infuse her creations with emotional resonance, symbolic storytelling, and a unique blend of introspection and wonder, making her art not just visually captivating but intellectually engaging.

Embarking on her artistic journey in 2020, Beata has rapidly evolved through dedicated self-study and professional training. She has honed her skills via prestigious workshops and courses, including a comprehensive drawing and painting program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland, under mgr Izabela Krześlak (2023); portrait and landscape sessions with Cordell Garfield, esteemed president and artist of the Northamptonshire Art Society (2023–2024); an advanced drawing and painting course with artist David Douglas (2023); and life drawing classes at the Old School of Art in Yardley (2023). This eclectic training has enabled her to master representational and impressionist styles, often incorporating contemporary elements for bold, narrative-driven compositions.

Beata's portfolio spans evocative oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, ranging from intimate portraits and serene landscapes to mythological epics that explore themes of destiny, resilience, and human connection. Standout works include the ethereal "Girl with Pearl Hair" (oil on canvas, 40x50 cm, 2024), which captures luminous beauty with impressionist flair; the dramatic "Resurrectress of the Gods Syros" (oil on canvas, 50x70 cm, 2024), a contemporary ode to empowerment and revival; and the vibrant "Goddess Ingoria" series (acrylic on canvas, 2024–2025), blending ancient mystery with modern symbolism. Her recent quartet—"Bench," "Joy," "Judgement," and "Dress Rehearsal" (oils, 2025)—showcases her growing confidence in depicting quiet introspection, exuberant emotion, moral tension, and theatrical anticipation. Other notable pieces like "Winter Landscape," "Portrait of a Girl," "Donald," "Tyson," "Balcony," "Red Chair," and "Triptych Portrait Scene 3" demonstrate her versatility, with dimensions typically 30x40 cm to 60x80 cm and mediums emphasizing textured depth and luminous color.

Complementing her paintings is the seven-part fantasy comic saga "TARIA" (self-published on Amazon UK and Poland, Books 1–4 available since 2023), a gripping odyssey following Princess Taria's prophetic journey through realms of courage, family secrets, and self-discovery. Illustrated with vibrant, sequential art that echoes her painterly style.
