the founder
I am Emilia Sokolowska, a muralist, painter and photographer weaving urban stories into colour, light and texture. My practice blends street culture, surreal symbolism and quiet observation, turning everyday walls and moments into meditative, dreamlike narratives.
From art to business
A creative foundation
Emilia’s early education combined both artistic and musical disciplines. She completed six years of classical music training with a violin major and four years of formal visual arts education — providing a strong foundation in drawing, painting, sculpture, typography, photography, design, and art history.
Recognised for her artistic achievements from an early age, Emilia received a grant for talented youth and won an international drawing competition. These experiences strengthened her commitment to a professional creative path.
Across borders
Her passion for visual communication took her beyond Poland. In Spain, she co-led photography workshops, contributed to regional exhibitions, and participated in art therapy initiatives — deepening her understanding of how creativity connects people and communities.
To bridge artistic expression with strategic thinking, Emilia studied in Denmark, specialising in Brand Design and Marketing Communication. There she developed expertise in brand strategy, graphic design, consumer psychology, and visual communication — learning how creativity shapes business, culture, and perception.
Art meets commerce
Her professional career has since spanned creative, marketing, and brand leadership roles across international organisations — producing commercial content for global campaigns and serving as Brand Manager for a Danish company collaborating with internationally recognised brands, including Nestlé.
Today, through Onyx 4rt, Emilia combines fine art, design thinking, and commercial experience. She creates murals, commissioned artworks, and photography that elevate spaces, strengthen visual identities, and leave lasting impressions. Having lived, studied, and worked across multiple countries and cultures, she brings an international perspective and a blend of artistic craftsmanship with strategic insight to every project.
