Mirella von Chrupek, born 1980. Photographer, designer, collector and curator. Works also in such domains as scenography and sculpture. She aims to create alternative worlds of happiness. Between 2014-17 curated a personal micro-art gallery project called Gablotka, a display box located in the centre of Warsaw where over three years she presented thirteen installations. Her work has been featured in several galleries over Poland. Published a book on adventures of one of her characters (Dino Bambino, Wytwórnia Publishing House, 2018), a collaborative project with a writer Sylwia Chutnik. Runs a personal bimonthly column in Kosmos dla Dziewczynek (Cosmos for Girls) magazine. A devoted fan of dinosaurs, paleoart and Jean Luc Picard. If she ever made a tattoo again it would be just Picard sitting on a dino. As simple as that. A holder of the Scholarship of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland in 2013 and 2020.
