Cart Gallery

Cart Gallery is a mobile art stall with mixed media art and magic crafts. I accept comissions for unique objects and oil paintings.

You can find me in Oxfotd where I'm based, meet me on my trade travel or support my initiative, buying my art online.

Six years ago, I built my CArt from upcycled wood and trash found in Oxford skips, and it’s still going strong—only the umbrellas change when they break! ☂️
This tiny trolley spent almost 2 years in the shed during the pandemic lockdowns and one more year while I had to return to my home country for a while.
But it survived all this time and continues its mission to promote sustainable living, recycled art, and crafts made from local trash or natural findings!♻️

What started as an art experiment and another of my trash art projects has grown into a passion-driven business.
I was surprised to see how much people love seeing art on the street and how open they are to supporting sustainable small businesses.
So, I left my other jobs, art shows, exhibitions, and the traditional art world behind to focus on this independent venture😊

This journey has been full of ups and downs, but I've met incredible people, made lots of friends, and sold thousands of upcycled jewelry pieces and original artworks.
My creations are now spread around the world thanks to Oxford's visitors and locals alike.

Some people still think I’m crazy—others, seeing me setting up, ask if I sell ice cream😁
But through this journey, I’ve learned that art is even more powerful than I thought before based on all my academic knowledge and art education.
It can change the world.
We need to move away from consumerism, fast fashion, petrol-based economy, and the production of plastic waste.
My CArt Gallery is my small personal contribution to this cause.
I don't know where this journey will take me.
I am just following my intuition and my crazy visionary brain.
I’m an artist, and I’m doing what I can in my field. Let’s all do our part, in any way we can in every profession we work 💚♻️🌎

Coffee break with my wrapped unfinished painting before starting work🎨😁
This piece will be available on my CArt once it dries and gets varnished. Drying is a big part of oil painting, that's why each piece takes time to finish.

🎨🖼️🖌️And a quick reminder:

If You’re thinking about commissioning a painting, or we talked about it before on the street, now’s the perfect time to start!

Autumn is ideal for designing your custom Christmas gifts, as winter will be super busy and it might be too late!

So, if you want something painted, DM me with your ideas or photos to start. I can paint anything in any size or technique and ship it worldwide🖌️🎁🌎😁

Have you heard about the eccentric eco freaky Slavic artist who run this werid project of the mobile art gallery?
She calls herself a witch and probably uses a touch of magic skills to transform blank canvases into street scenes🎨, trash into jewelry♻️, and found objects into enchanting talismans🪄.
Selling these unique creations from her quirky CArt in Radcliffe Square.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, visit her stall.
Snap a selfie in her magical mirror!🪞 Definitely a must-see tourist attraction in Oxford😁

I’m almost done with a new street view of Radcliffe Square! You’re welcome to visit me at work this weekend. This piece, like all my work, will be available for sale on my CArt.

I’m incredibly grateful for your support.❤️ You buy everything that I make!😍

The summer season is over, and my best paintings and jewelry pieces have sold out, but you still have a chance to find some unique handmade pieces!

🎨💎♻️

Stay tuned for new arrivals!

Thank you for this nice photo of me at work📷👌

Apologies for my absence in the street this past week. The weather has been unpredictable, and I’ve been busy with some other projects.
I’m now focusing on finishing up all your ceramic commissions, so everything you ordered this year is currently in my studio and will be ready this month. If you’d like to place a new order, please let me know by today.

Fingers crossed for better weather! I still have some painting to complete at Radcliffe Square and hope to see you there tomorrow!
I have some great stuff left in my CArt from the summer, so check it out for handmade, fairtrade, and upcycled arts and crafts.

Sending a big hug from the studio!❤️💚💜💛

A big part of the season is behind me, and I just want to take a moment to thank you all.
To everyone who supports the idea of my CArt Gallery, to my friends who visit me almost every day, and to those across the globe who support me mentally and online—thank you!💛

To all the visitors, customers, and supporters who choose handmade, fair trade, upcycled, and sustainable products, and who shop small—thank you.💚
Your upcycled trash donations, the shared coffees, the snacks you're bringing me, and our inspiring conversations mean a lot to me.💜

This project and my street life have taught me that our society is full of powerful, amazing visionaries, and we have so many positive, beautiful people in this World.

My CArt exists because of your support, your purchases, all the commissions, and online orders that keep me busy. So this is our collective project😁♻️🌎

Thank you to those who thank me for doing this—I am here for you! ❤️💫

Being a good painter isn't just about creating something beautiful—it's about how quickly and effectively you can bring your vision to life.

The real challenge isn’t spending a month perfecting one piece- that's the easy part. And boring!

The true challenge for me is producing multiple quick, well-crafted works in a single day!

I've always believed that age doesn’t matter. You can connect and vibe with people of any age, regardless of their language, profession, or education level.

Come visit and support my sustainable, zero-waste art gallery on my handcrafted upcycled cart!

It’s also a space for connections, networking, and energy exchange because I’m one of those crazy people who believe that together, we can make a better world. Even crazier, I believe art can help with that.
And of course, I am not the only one.
These little fellows believe too!😁

Find me in Oxford City on Radcliffe Square, Cornmarket Street, or somewhere nearby almost every sunny afternoon! ☀️🎨🎈☂️

"Why don't you ever wear your owdn designs?"
Well, I do—sometimes! I do not often wear jewelry because I'm usually busy with these messy artsy and crafty projects, other physical jobs, or sports, which makes wearing jewelry impractical for me.

Anyway, here's my photo in my magic street mirror, wearing my collection made from recycled vintage cutlery and copper cables.
All the pieces are available on my CArt, but you'd better hurry if you like them because they’re disappearing quickly as the season goes on!

I'm not changing my profession. Art has always been my way, my destiny, and, at times, my curse😁

As you may have noticed, I struggle with hyperactivity disorder, leading to an overflow of ideas and projects.

So, what if I start selling flowers and herbs on my CArt?💐
From my permaculture allotment in Headington or Oxfordshire meadows?
Would you unfollow me, or would you visit me in the city center to see what I'm up to?

Let's see what happens when I combine plants and paintings in my tiny art gallery🎨💐

This beautiful lady wearing my mushroom earrings is my soul sista, lifelong friend, partner in crime, travel and life companion, and the one person in the world who has always been ready to realize my craziest ideas with me, together from start to finish in every mad and even dangerous circumstances 😁 Thank you for all the amazing memories!

Życzę Ci, abyś na zawsze pozostała właśnie taka jak jesteś: odważna duchem, widzącą prawdę na wskroś przez ściany, analizująca dogłębnie świat bystrym umysłem, ciekawa życia oraz przede wszystkim jak zawsze otwarta na nowe przygody, bo prawdopodobnie nie jedna jeszcze przed nami!

This is not a relaxing hobby, a spiritual journey, or something beneficial for my well-being. This is my full-time, permanent job, just like every other job in our perfect capitalistic society😁

It requires many years of education and practice.

At the end of the day, it's a physical, dirty job that demands focus and a lot of thinking.

So to all my lovely customers from around the world:

As a small one-person business, I am a maker, worker, designer, manager, sales assistant, accountant, and cleaner—with my boss permanently living in my head.

And I have just one tiny body.

Please don't ask me to sell my stuff cheaper! ❤️

I remember the beginning of the summer and the end of the academic year during my art studies in Poland. That was the day when I was packing my backpack of watercolors, brushes, and sketchbooks and I was heading the way into a new adventure.

Today the beginning of the summer still seems to me like a new adventure.
It's not as crazy as before and I don't travel without money and don't hitchhike anymore, but who knows what will come to my mind one day...😁

Right now I am starting another summer season in Oxford!
Find me on the streets, pop in for a chat, support my independent tiny eco-art gallery, and if you need me to make any special commission, I am ready to accept any challenge! (Just to remind I can do painting in every technique, mural on every wall, sculpture in most soft materials, functional ceramics, graphic or interior design, jewelry repairs, and any special jewelry order including magic talismans cause, of course, I am a witch😉)
