Early life

edit

Materowicz was born and grew up in Warsaw . She showed her an extremely artistic talent since her childhood. She has had a passion for drawing and painting from a very young age. As a 4– 5 years old child, while the other were playing on the local playground, she was copying from Encyclopaedia picture after the picture. Her work was amazing , so the local school teacher asked her family to let her attend art classes.

In 1979, as a 16 years old teenager she sent her painting for the Shankar’s International Children’s Competition, New Delhi,[15] India. Materowicz has won a silver medal and received an invitation to collect her award in India. As a young girl coming from a communism country she couldn't afford to buy a ticket to India. At that time the Polish government didn't support young, talented children, like Materowicz, so Materowicz collected her award at Indian Embassy in Warsaw. Even after so many years if you ask Materowicz about her missed opportunity to go and collect her award in India, she gets tears in her eyes.[citation needed]
