Nudes by Krzysztof Ludwin
Born in 1962 in Kraków, Krzysztof Ludwin is a painter, architect, and educator. He studied at the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology and at the Faculty of Industrial Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. He specializes in easel painting, with a particular focus on watercolor. He is a member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers (ZPAP) and a co-founder of the Polish Watercolor Society (SAP). In 2011, he published the instructional book Learning to Paint with Watercolors through PWN. His artistic work centers mainly on female nudes, portrayed with great sensitivity and the lightness characteristic of the watercolor technique. Selected works by the artist decorate the historic section of our hotel rooms – from the Classic to the Premium category. Paintings by Krzysztof Ludwin are available for purchase at the hotel reception.
“ETER OF LIFE” Collection
Katarzyna Wasilewska (b. 1976) is a graduate of the Faculty of Graphics and Painting at the Władysław Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Her works have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions and are part of private collections. The “ETER OF LIFE” collection, inspired by the motif of the butterfly as a symbol of the soul, transformation, and ephemeral beauty, invites reflection on the fragility of life and the importance of following what truly matters to us. Selected works from this series can be admired in Modern-type rooms in the new wing of our hotel.

Collection "ETERyczne"
Laura Szymoniuk graduated with honors with a Master’s degree in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Her diploma project received the Tymon Niesiołowski Medal for the best artistic diploma in 2018.
Her artistic work is an existential dialogue between the physical and the spiritual. The human body, central to her sculptures, becomes a vessel for emotion—a space for exploring human nature and contemplating the condition of contemporary existence.
Sculptures
Authors: Students of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń
