The Ice Prints are created by melting ice and water. The aim is to capture traces of the patterns which nature leaves in its path without any interference. Dorota says that she only prepares the conditions where the image can be developed. The cycle is a part of her recent experiments which also include: Rainy Paintings and Ice Paintings. All of them are based on the reactions which are unleashed when mixing water and oil paints. The process of painting has become the starting point for all Borowa’s recent works. Her paintings and prints become a place between accident and design, between acceptance and destruction. She does not have a preconceived image and this freedom allows her to accept the way the paint flows or to impose her own will.

She is a co-founder of the Borowe Sisters Group. One of her ongoing projects is Map Books, inspired by travelling in South-East Asia in 2015. To date Borowa has received two scholarships from the Polish Ministry of Culture as well as SDCC Individual Bursary Award (2019). In 2016 she was longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
