Ala Ranko began her adventure with painting by exploring various techniques, from delicate watercolours to expressive acrylics and oils. Each of them allowed her to discover new possibilities of expression. Initially, she drew inspiration from the world around her, painting landscapes, still lifes and portraits of people close to her.

A breakthrough moment in her artistic path was taking up postgraduate studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. This experience brought a new quality to her work, giving her a solid theoretical foundation, broadening her workshop and opening her to new perspectives in art.

Currently, she is a member of the "SŁABE TO" artistic collective, which brings together diverse creators to challenge conventional aesthetics and foster collaborative projects through a shared, often self-deprecating sense of irony.
