Stanisława Wojda-Pytlińska was born in Klwaty near Radom. Her parents were not professionally involved in artistic activities, but they had a great passion for art. Her mother drew, her father made toys with his own hands, the house resounded with music and was full of creative invention. Under their influence, Stanisława decided to devote herself to art. First she studied painting at the teachers’ college in Legnica under Prof. Bronisław Chyła. Later she graduated from the State Higher School of Visual Arts (now the Academy of Fine Arts) in Gdansk, at the faculty of painting with a specialisation in plastic education in the atelier of Prof. Andrzej Dyakowski and Prof. Rajmund Pietkiewicz.
After her studies, she worked as a visual artist in the Voivodeship House of Culture in Radom, designing scenographies for monodramas and recitals presented in the Artistic Creation Hall, as well as poetry and music performances staged in the Powszechny Theatre in Radom. For many years in Bolesławiec, she ran art classes for children and young people at the St. Wyspianski Youth Cultural Centre and the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre.
Stanisława Wojda-Pytlińska practises painting, drawing and batik. She seeks inspiration for her works in music, poetry, literature and landscape. However, she avoids all literalism, leaving the viewer’s imagination wide open to interpretation. Her work is recognised by the artistic community, as evidenced by the fact that she has repeatedly been entrusted with the post of commissioner of plein-air painting workshops, including those in Kamień Pomorski, Trzebiatów, Karpacz and Przesieka.
