Inspiration
Alicja Wieczorek is an artist, designer, architect and an interior designer. Her passion is to create beauty within human environment. When she was 11 years old, she had drawn a portrait of her father (at left). Her talent was recognised and in the following years she developed her skills by painting at different art schools. At the same time she chose a career as an architect. After years of working as a project architect, she decided to start her own company. Over the years she had realised that a human factor is essential for her. Alicja now works on a smaller scale (interior design), where she can be closer to people. This, and her endless creative capabilities, make her human.

2022 Big Location is sold
For more than 5 years we have enjoyed beautiful
location in Voorburg, called Big Location on the ground floor by Nirai. This location has been sold in February 2022. From now on the lesson will only take place in Private Studio of Artona in Voorburg. As a result bigger groups are split into smaller once (max 6 participants) and that means even more attention for the students!

Artona has donated a painting, which has brought, during auction at this Evening, an amount of €1500 for the New Wings, total amount gathered that night is € 59100 !!! It was an unforgettable evening and being able to participate in such an initiatief was an honour. Under this link you can find more information about the New Wings Charity Foundation www.newwings.eu
