Joanna Scislowicz was born on 11 November 1981 in Brzeg, Poland. She received a First Class MA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Poznan, Poland. Scislowicz went on to achieve a further MA from Wimbledon College of Art. She is interested in exploring issues of faith, religion and spirituality in the contemporary world. She uses traditional techniques (brush and oil on canvas) and manages with tremendous skill to hide even the faintest hint of a brush mark.  Reaching this particular effect has taken years of practice, and visually resembles the medium of spray can. Joanna currently lives and works in London.
