FEATHER N STONE — where nature, art, and everyday life converge in a symphony of creativity and beauty.

In the heart of Poland, amidst the whispers of Mother Earth, Agnieszka Podczaszy, a soul deeply connected to nature, discovered the language of art. Born and raised in the enchanting landscapes of Poland, Agnieszka’s artistic odyssey began at the University of Rzeszow Institute of Fine Arts. Her canvas became a tapestry of dreams, a place where oil paintings and mixed media coalesce into mesmerizing landscapes and captivating figures.

Agnieszka’s art is a dance—an exquisite balance between heavy textures and swift brushstrokes that infuse her creations with a sense of perpetual movement. These peculiar abstractions, reminiscent of dreamy landscapes, beckon the viewer into a space of introspection, a realm where emotions, sensitivities, and memories intertwine. Each piece is a testament to her commitment to sustainability and a celebration of ageless aesthetics. It’s a philosophy of connecting opposites to create a perfect whole … tenderness and toughness, ephemerality and permanence, inspiration and craft … Feather and Stone …

Feather N Stone is a celebration of multi-faceted creativity. It’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the artistry of Agnieszka Podczaszy—to wear, to sip, to practice, and to live with the essence of her serene abstractions.

Join us on this journey where every item is a brushstroke, and every moment is a chance to rediscover the beauty within.

WARSZAWSKIE DZIECI – Muzyczna opowieść o Powstańcach Warszawy. Żadna inna wojna nie pozostawiła tylu pięknych pieśni i piosenek. Bohaterskie, wzniosłe, jak “Hej, chłopcy bagnet na broń”, „Szarymi Szeregami”, „Warszawskie Dzieci”, śmieszne, zawadiackie, jak “Pałacyk Michla”, albo romantyczne, jak “Deszcz, jesienny deszcz”… . Wśród powstańców były tysiące młodzieży, nawet dzieci. O nich najczęściej opowiadają piosenki napisane podczas dni walki. Przez długie lata zakazane w powojennej Polsce, dziś stanowią niezwykle trwały, emocjonalny dokument tamtych 63 dni.
