''... In that her art seeks to empower women through glamour as opposed to politics (...). Her subjects are flamboyant as seen in her Post-Pop Neo-Art-Nouveau paintings such as Girl With A Pearl Earring (...).''

Poland was represented by Szyfter' paintings. Agnieszka uses her own iconic style to capture the essence of women baring their hopes, fears and aspirations. She often uses bold colors and geometric backgrounds to highlight the natural curves of her models. Her mediums are oil and acrylic paintings but also she works in interior and graphic design. She has had several individual art exhibitions in Europe, Asia and USA. Szyfter has recently branched out into jewellery design and is working on a project to tie designs with specific paintings.
