My Story

I'm Sylwia, a Polish native who has called Switzerland home since 2012. The beauty of nature draws me outdoors, where I find both rest and inspiration. I am passionate about photography, where I strive to capture life's fleeting moments and breathtaking landscapes through my lens.

Nature

Living in Switzerland, I cherish my time in nature. The majestic Alps, winding rivers, and serene lakes offer a perfect escape from life's hectic rhythm. These outdoor havens are more than just retreats; they sharpen my focus and boost my creativity. Embracing this powerful connection, I made it a habit to work on various projects outdoors, turning nature into my ultimate workspace.

Data

My path as a physicist with a PhD in Nanoscience has been a remarkable journey through the world of manipulation of single atoms, molecules, and quantum states. While this path was deeply rewarding, my growing fascination with Artificial Intelligence led me to developing Deep Learning models for healthcare applications.

My professional life has always revolved around data and analytics. I've always found joy in crafting visualizations to communicate results of my work, whether for presentations or academic publications. However, it was only recently that I discovered Data Visualization as a distinct field, rich with impactful, aesthetically pleasing and unconventionally designed pieces based on various datasets. Fascinated, I immersed myself in exploring this domain, and along the way, I also uncovered the world of Data Art focusing on creating artistic pieces using data as medium.

Data Immersion

Data Immersion was born from my passion to capture nature’s beauty and life’s vibrancy through data-driven creations.

As my exploration of Data Art & Visualization continues, I’m excited to share my discoveries with you, inviting you to take a break from the fast-paced life, breathe deeply, and to rediscover the beauty that surrounds us.
