This artwork is inspired by nature — especially the deep blue waters of the ocean, which inspire me the most. The vastness, mystery, and emotional depth of the sea have always spoken to me in a very personal way. The textured rocks surrounding the composition represent strength, grounding, and the raw power of nature. In the middle, a small sailing boat floats quietly on the blue water — a symbol of the human journey. It feels both free and uncertain at the same time. While creating this piece, I followed my feelings completely. There were moments of confusion, moments of not knowing where to go or what decision to make. Instead of resisting that uncertainty, I allowed it to guide me. That emotional state — the feeling of searching, drifting, and navigating through the unknown — is exactly what I wanted to express in this artwork. The contrast between the structured, textured rocks and the fluid, deep blue water reflects the tension between stability and movement, certainty and doubt. This piece is about trusting the process, even when the direction is unclear — just like a boat finding its way across the open sea.

I’m an artist originally from Poland, who lived in Greece and is now based in Sweden. My work is all about texture, contrast, and emotion — I love combining acrylics with plaster and clay to create three-dimensional forms that invite touch and reflection. I embrace spontaneity and let my pieces evolve as I create, exploring the balance between structure and freedom. My art is a space where feelings take shape, and every surface tells a story.
