Educational background:

• Beaux-Arts de Paris (Graduate)

Fajfrowska's artistic practice centers on morphological deconstruction of the human form, translating three-dimensional bodies into spatially accurate compositions through classical drawing techniques. Her teaching explores graphite, charcoal, pastel, wash, and pen media to develop individual student expression while maintaining rigorous attention to proportion, perspective, and anatomical structure. Classes balance rapid gesture studies with extended figure constructions to build both intuitive and technical mastery.

As an educator, she cultivates personalized artistic development through structured progression from fundamental spatial concepts to complex compositional narratives. Her mentorship emphasizes discovering individual media preferences while achieving technical proficiency in realistic representation, accommodating diverse student approaches within disciplined observational frameworks.
