“MY INSPIRATIONS ARE DRAWN FROM THE REFLECTION OF SELF EXPERIENCE AND EMOTIVE SENSES. MY WORK IS AN EVOLVING JOURNEY, EACH PAINTING REPRESENTING FEELINGS AND STATES OF BEING.”

Emma Grzonkowski was brought up in a beautiful part of Cheshire where she spent hours endlessly lost in her own playful imagination, drawing and painting from ‘as young as she can remember being able to hold a pencil ’ Emma states. 

It was clear to Emma’s mother and father that she had a natural talent for art and it was something which was part of her ‘being’ and this need for her to create was always within her.  

They encouraged her to harness this love for art and her father, in particular, played a pivotal role, being creative himself encouraging Emma to thrive with her noticeably creative talents. 

Steven Grzonkowski, would often spend hours drawing pictures himself for Emma to copy. To which she would stick these drawings on her bedroom wall and would practice her own versions of them relentlessly until she got it just right. 

Emma went on to exhibit across the UK, gaining many followers and collectors who seemed to connect to Emma's work on an emotional level. She also had numerous of her paintings published as limited edition print.

Emma continued to channel her emotions from the darkest of places heading towards the light and her collectors followed her on this emotional journey with great empathy and love for her creative expressionism. Throughout this time Emma’s life was a complete whirlwind rollercoaster, personally and professionally. With her facing many battles, heartbreaks and mentalhealth issues along the way. With her artwork almost being an open diary to her life for 8 years after being signed. 

Music has always been an inspiring element throughout Emma’s process, with it being the driving force to channel her emotions and well being. In 2017 Emma made a connection with Spotify’s UK Editor at the time Austin Daboh who happened to be a collector of Emma’s work. She was then presented with the prospect of producing a commissioned piece of art for global music Giants Spotify. 

Thrilled to be able to combine music and art together within her work and for such a profound company, she went on to produce an electric piece of artwork which fused Grime/Hip hop with Art. This painting was produced to commemorate Spotify’s debut event at Alexandra Palace which headlined Dizzie Rascal and also hosted Cardi B, J Hus, Stefflon don, Giggs and Bugzy Malone.
