Angelika Ejtel (alias RapidHeartMovement) is a Polish self-portraitist currently based in the United States. She graduated in French language; later, she did her research in linguistics. Passionate about the beauty of words, a few years ago she fell in love with the poetry of a famous Polish poet- Halina Poswiatowska, who inspired most of her self-portraiture. In October 2013, she published her first portfolio in “Arte Fotogràfica” (issue 61)- international Fine Art Photography Magazine and very recently in Vol. 52 of “NEu Tymes” which is a magazine about extraordinary humans, their ideas and achievements.
She considers her photographic creation as a poetic experience in which she drowns and infuses herself and, as a result, it gives her the feeling that she is reborn with each portrait into a new being. Although, all of her photographs are self-portraits, they shouldn’t be necessarily read as self-presentations, rather they should be revealed as the multiplicity of “selves” available to one individual. To put it succinctly, her attitude towards the self is more of an exploratory journey between an awareness of self and an unawareness of some aspects of oneself.
It must be stressed that she has always been profoundly moved by arts, which she had been profoundly ignorant about, including photography. She agrees with H. Cartier-Bresson who said: “I’m not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentary, but intuition (…).” All of her pursuits in photography so far, are self-taught, purely intuitive and deeply-rooted in linguistic theories of cohesion in text.

Angelika Ejtel: Gosto de teatro, poesia e fotografia. Felizmente tenho isso tudo nesta soberba Galaria. Tenho confiança nesta artista multifacetada. A sua inteligência fazem dela uma mulher bonita e através dessa beleza inteligente dá-nos poemas onde a "narrativa" é a sua mímica teatral que (difícil trabalho) capta triunfalmente num ápice "flacheado" . Abstraindo-me da técnica que isso é da artista, apenas sei do sublime para a alma e o espírito. Está muito á frente e Felizmente demonstra uma enorme força criadora. Angelika agradecido aos Deuses por estar aqui no seu tempo!

What can I say about your photographic work? Simply fascinating. Thank you to bring your thoughts and feelings to images. A kiss and a hug from Spain.
You are suddenly one of my favorite photographers. You seem to capture an early 20th century feel that I find incredible. I'm so totally awed by this work. I can't wait to see more.
You are: A brilliant artist who poetically packs her emotions into photographs. Very fantastic and you dive into your works. I can not find words anymore. The photos make speechless, because my thoughts deepen in their photos. I'm curious about what's coming. Best wishes Anne ♥
I have never before discovered a photographer who expresses poetry and emotions with such sublime art as does Angelika. Each image is awe inspiring. She is in the top tier of artists in my opinion, and I look forward to following her brilliant work.
