Bea Lukowska

I am a self-taught artist with a background in Architecture and in Buildings Conservation. I specialize in creating landscapes, architectural pieces, and urban scenes, with a particular passion for capturing historical buildings set in picturesque countryside settings.

My deep connection to nature comes from memories of a happy childhood in Poland and especially to the sunny summer holidays I used to spend with my family at one of the lake districts near my hometown. Swimming in warm lakes, sailing and fishing on the calm waters, long lazy walks through the fields and woodlands – these experiences made a big impact on my way of seeing nature and on my spirituality.

During my studies in Poland (Architecture) and later in Germany (Architecture and Building Conservation), I developed a strong focus on historical buildings and their urban environments. Heritage architecture drives my imagination back in time and evokes in me feelings of mystery and magic.

My creations typically emerge in the form of colored sketches and drawings, where I enjoy experimenting with various tones of light and shadow, as well as techniques that create a sense of three-dimensionality. I use pen, pencil, coloured pencils, ink, and watercolor on paper.

I work from my small studio space at home in Cambridge.
