Malwina Chabocka’s Early Career and Influences

Malwin graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland. Malwina experimented with fine art, graphic design, illustration, animation and writing before identifying her preferred language of expression and making painting her primary focus.
