Agnieszka Osipa’s work portrays myths and folklore stories in a dreamlike visual, her work brings the stories of Baba Yaga and Rusalka to life, both Slavic folklores’. Osipa’s fascination with folklore began during her high school years, it began with an interest in folklore music, until one of her teachers advised to get into clothing design, then she combined the two. She first went to the Art High School in Jaroslaw and then she went to the Academy of Fine arts in Lods where she specialised in Costume design. She is inspired by dark and witchlike aspects of pagan beliefs and the east European culture, she’s mainly inspired by music. Osipa uses various materials such as leather and plastic, however she believes that the materials are not as important as the forms which they allow you to create.
 

I will take inspiration from this artist from the way she creates her costumes and the way the photos have been taken, for example the one where the woman is stood in the white dress in the woods. I will look for different materials to create costumes for my photoshoots, I will also look online for costumes.
