DEA Design Danuta Antas Graphic and Web DesignDEA Design is Poland based creative graphic design and custom web design services provided by Danuta Antas, graphic artist, fine art photographer, English philologist with 20-year experience in the art & design industry and 5-year experience in the real estate industry. Together with her life partner, Andrew Baczkowski, they have been running ABREN real estate company. Danuta is responsible for the company's branding and marketing issues. DEA Design creative studio was founded by Danuta in 2009. She cooperates with a team of freelance IT specialists to provide her graphic and web design services.
Danuta creates bold designs clients love for their soft, subtle touch and some unique, elusive feel. She draws inspiration for her designs and photographic work from nature, meditations that let her connect and cooperate with other people at much deeper levels. Danuta's clients point that she has a gift of turning their vision into perfect graphic representation.While working on commission, Danuta is focused on graphic design commercial projects. Her major concern are people she works for and how to best meet their expectations. The other, very personal part of Danuta's is her beloved fine art photography, black and white in particular. As the artist says herself, photography lets her express inner, more hidden part of her personality. She has received Honorable Mention awards for her colour and b&w photography at International Photo Awards (IPA) in the USA in 2011 and in 2012. Her photographic work is available as canvas prints for interior design and archival paper limited edition prints that may serve as elegant, original gifts.

Artist's StatementI want to thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to learn about my work. Being a graphic artist and Fine Art Faculty graduate, who has studied traditional printing techniques, like etching and aquatint I pay attention to detail and technique as much as to the design itself. My passion for very well-structured designs and care for detail has been strengthen by painting oil copies of Medieval, Renaissance masters and Impressionists alike. I truly love my work and love advising my clients on design and branding issues.
The best outcomes are when clients rely on my taste, experience and commitment, telling me what final effect, goal or impression they want to achieve with their new design. For me, it is important to learn and meet my clients preferences. I am always open to hear my clients and when they trust me and express their satisfaction with my work makes me really a happy person. |
