Even as a little girl I was extremely introverted, creative, and imaginative. I'm a loner and people think I'm strange, but some of them appreciate my very subjective point of view.
My name is Malgorzata Weronika Jasinska but I am also known as eempatiaa / empatia or Inf3ctedDoll. I have spent my lonely childhood in a city called Grudziadz (Poland) and I still live here. When I was little I used to make a lot of drawings, especially portraits of Manga & Anime characters. I always knew that I was an artist but didn't know yet in which medium I should work. I decided to join the music school for playing piano but it didn't become my destiny. I also tried other kinds of art but I wasn't cut out for them; there was no comparison to drawing and painting. Through the next years my works have been appreciated and have won some contests.
About four years ago after designing layouts for blogs, I started making photo manipulations and other digital artworks. It was a dead center in my development; I discovered that there is something better for me than just traditional art. In a short time I have learned a lot about manipulating pictures in various ways. My digital artworks are mostly dark or surreal. After some time I also wanted to take images I would then manipulate.
Three years ago on my sixteenth birthday (and yes, this year I am nineteen years old) I got a digital camera. In photography my main subject is a portrait of human, through the eyes of sociality. Because of the isolation that it brings, I am the model for most of my pictures.
For a long time I couldn't decide between graphic design and photography. I guess photo manipulating is some kind of compromise, which really satisfies me and my artistic ambitions. Recently I also began work in old good traditional techniques.
My curse is my gift. My nightmares, deep sensitivity, and emotional instability gives the best (and most uncomfortable) inspirations I could ever have. For me, art is passion - and visions are the mirror, which show my feelings and connect me with the rest of the world. Nothing can save me from the demons in my head, but art is the one thing which keeps me alive and doesn't let me go crazy… but sometimes.

My main focus in art is color, design and composition. I have a true passion for color as the art subject itself - how colors fit together, how they communicate with each other within the design, how certain colors combined with one another evoke a certain feeling - this is paramount in my work. I am a social worker, artist and poet living in Austin, TX. Read More...
