Dellfina & Dellacroix are two artists working and living together. They combine Thomas’s interest for history with Agnieszka’s fascination with human nature.
Their joint projects deal with subjects like fame, image, commercialism and world conflicts in context of collective memory and mass medial manipulation. In spite the fact that their points of view are often drastically different, they always find the way to a fruitful and creative cooperation. Like jing and jang, day and night, black and white, spiritualism and materialism they create side by side in a perfect unity.
They use each other as the main artistic material and in their own Utopian world they balance on the thin border between reality and illusion.
Their cooperation spans from photography, photomontage, painting and collage, to video installation, music, and performance. They are pioneers in many cutting edge techniques including Lenticulars-photography based, digital technique, where pictures create video-morphic sequences.

"When Dellacroix and Dellfina take on famous peoples identities it is not for the simple reason of managing to create a look-a-like portrait that for a moment would fool the observer. The meaning is deeper than that, even if the images sometimes have a humorous approach, or even more often a tragicomical one." Jan Almlöf
