Until January 10, 2025, visitors to the Casimir the Great Castle in Inowłódz can admire an exhibition of linocuts prepared by PJAIT graduate PJAIT Błaszczuk.

The thesis consists of nine male portraits depicting charismatic personalities who have been skateboarding for over 15 years—faces that are icons of youthful rebellion, symbols of breaking away from accepted conventions. Street photographs served as the starting point for the graphics. The author made many hand-drawn sketches to capture the penetrating gaze or facial expression, as well as to select the appropriate matrix cut for each specific character.

The master's thesis was supervised by Dr. Andrzej Kalina. The appendix to the thesis, consisting of five abstracts, was done in black and white. The artist continues her research on combining black, white, and gray.
