Summer staycation
acrylic paints on wood, 50x60cm. 2022 Ahhh…the classic family summer photo. You know the one, we all have it, mum with the funny hat, wearing the brightest clothes she can find…wrapping her arms around the playful kids and looking serious…straight at the camera But this shouldn’t be the deal…the Polar bears don’t want to go to Ibiza! Too much mud and water without floe doesn’t suit its beautiful fur, nor the lifestyle of the Sea Bear. The more the ice melts, the more restrictive becomes their access to wider territories and natural food sources. Whenever you have the chance, vote for polar bears and reduction of greenhouse gasses. There are multiple petitions gathering votes, which are run by environmental organizations.In the meantime, hop on a bicycle whenever you can. Fun fact about polar bears: Polar bear’s fur is not white, but transparent and their skin is black. They are awesome
Phytoplankton and other drifters
acrylic paints on wood, 80x120cm. 2023 When it comes to things drifting in the ocean, some are useless or harmful while the rest produce 50% of the oxygen on our planet. It should be an easy guess, which one of the above is phytoplankton. While it’s not really a plant, nor an animal, these microscopic creatures wandering on the surface of the ocean are critically important for our environment. Phytoplankton, where ‘plankton’ from Greek means ‘a drifter’ take their name from their inability to move but instead drifting and letting the ocean take them. On top of their ability to produce O2, they massively help in absorbing carbon emission, locking carbon on the bottom of the oceans and turning it into fish food or rock formations like, for example, the White Cliffs of Dover. All they need to be able to do their job is clean nutritious water. There are
Ocean Fashion
acrylic paints on wood, 50x60cm. 2022 WhatS UP? Single Use Plastic drifting in the ocean. If turtles were having a party themed ‘Plastic fantastic’, they wouldn't have a problem choosing their outfit. Browsing through the ocean of options they could create a great fashion show. Sea Turtles remember T-Rex and other dinosaurs, as they have been on our planet for over 110 mln years. Sadly at the moment, nearly all of them are endangered, with 3 out of 7 species being critically endangered. Plastic is just one of many on the lists of turtle’s problems, but it's the easiest one to approach. So let’s make an effort and avoid SUP as much as possible. Fun facts about sea turtles: They breathe air, however they are able to stay underwater for up to 5 hours at a time when they are asleep. They’re the oceans’ lawnmowers. Without them seagrass would become
Never Doubt What Nobody
acrylic paints on wood, 50x60cm. 2022 ‘Never doubt what nobody is sure about’ - a quote from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, that really makes you reflect. So let’s stop for a moment and think, would Willy Wonka, the famous sugar nerd, accept unfair palm oil in his chocolate? The hero of this painting is wearing Willy Wonka’s glasses and a hat, but unlike the Roald Dahl story, this is a story of a Monkey and a Palm Oil Factory. Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. Sadly at the moment they can be found only in Borneo and Sumatra, where their habitats are fast disappearing under the chainsaw belonging to timber, palm oil and mining companies. So shopping responsibly has never been so important. Look for an RSPO certificate or buy products without palm oil. And you might be surprised by the list of
Lotta wrap riding hood
acrylic paints on wood, 50x60cm. 2022 ‘Don’t go by yourself to the forest, or you might get eaten by a wolf!’ - well isn’t that one of the childhood myths? I’m not sure we should be so scared of them as Wolves should be of us The reality is that Wolves are the guardians of the forests. They ensure a healthy population of wildlife so plants and the surroundings can flourish together. Contrary to the popular story, they are shy and certainly don’t eat people! What can we do to help them? For a start, spread a good word about wolves to others. Also let’s not mess up their homes with old furniture and other kinds of leftovers. If you are on a walk, help them by cleaning and picking up trash. Fun facts about wolves: Wolves are animals who are very similar to our pet companions, dogs. Afterall they
A Pollination, A Pollution,
acrylic paints on wood, 50x60cm. 2022 These wonderful little creatures really have a sweet tooth. Give them a bag of M&Ms and they will produce colorful honey. Here in Copenhagen, this happens sometimes to the bees who live in bee hives on the roof of Tivoli Gardens and occasionally feast on flavored popcorn. Bees can be seen everywhere around the world apart from Antarctica. We all know them for their delicious honey. However it’s the pollination that is crucial and without it, we wouldn’t be able to survive. Unfortunately air pollution makes the bee job harder, as it impacts the bee's location skills. As a result, bees find it more difficult to locate and memorize the location of their floral resources, which further affects the pollination process. Let’s plant some flowers for bees, or create nesting spots. If you really, really have to use pesticides, choose organic ones and apply
Mountain Troll
Wandering in the mountains or simply laying on the grass and looking at the mountain peaks is my kind of thing.
Rocky Giants
acrylic paints on wood, 120x80cm. 2021 If you stare at the mountains for long enough, you may start to see shapes and stories. 'Rocky Giants' are inspired by my favorite skiing place. When I sit on the ski lift and look at the same mountain landscape, I often day dream and imagine that they are sleeping colossuses. Few weeks after finishing this painting, I was surprised to notice an additional giant, which I didn't intend to paint…
Little Mermaid
acrylic paints on wood, 40x120cm. 2021 What if it didn’t end that way… What if she didn’t transform into the cold sea foam…what if she is in hiding, with her music as her company. Mermaids are symbols of both of my home cities – Warsaw and Copenhagen. Currently I am living in Copenhagen and I chose to capture the most colorful street in the city. Is a mermaid living under Nyhavn? I want to believe so …
