Zuza Miśko is a printmaker and visual artist working across limited editions, publications, and selected applied commissions.
Trained in cinematography at the Polish National Film School in Łódź, she began her professional career as a 2D animator in advertising before designing and directing an 11-minute 2D film for Polish Television. She subsequently shifted towards restrained linocut printmaking and illustrative graphic design, focusing on tactile materials and narrative form.
Influenced by European and Japanese visual traditions, her imagery draws on nature, music, and myth. She has exhibited in Poland and internationally; her prints are held in private collections worldwide and have been featured in international publications.
She is currently developing experimental animation, extending her print-based visual language into moving image. Alongside her independent practice, she collaborates selectively on illustration, book design, and surface design commissions.
