Painter, visual artist and film director of Polish origin. Lives and works between London and Paris.She moved from the world of visual arts into filmmaking, where she aims to create a very specific connection between art, the world of signs, poetry and moving image.

Through her innovative approach towards filmmaking, she manages to create intimate and tangible insights into life and creation of her characters. She works on the formats 8mm and 16mm, which give her films specific climax and colour of nostalgia.

Her latest film “Themerson and Themerson”, made for ARTE Lucarne, has been celebrated around the world and in 2012 was announced the best documentary about art.

Behind the very strong aesthetics, there is always a purpose of making a particular film. Her documentary work explores the world of so called “different”, and aims to change their fate in the society. In fairytale-like “Artur. Happiness hides behind little things” she gives a rejected homeless genius a chance to live his dream life and go to university. In “Kingdom of Idiots” Wiktoria encourages to see those who we refuse to see as equals, the mentally disabled people, who she portrays through the prism of their art.
