ark

by Beata Bieniak

Many interesting details can be seen in this unusual monochrome graphic depicting an unusual representation of the ark. A house and animals – a cat and two dogs – can be seen on the boat, which rises thanks to its attachment to a huge floating sphere resembling a planet. The whole structure hovers in the clouds drifting in the sky. In the distance you can see the planets shining brightly. This unusual and surprising view is part of a fantastic world created by the artist, whose speciality is the juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous factors into one completely new element. This new quality often produces an unexpected, sometimes hilarious and even surprising effect.

The artist works mainly in black and white, which can be seen exactly in this graphic. The brilliant photomontage blurs the boundaries between the real and the non-real, transporting us into dream worlds.

photographer

Polish digital photographer. She is self-taught and has been creating for over 10 years. Her work is divided between photomontage and traditional digital or silver photography. She works primarily in black and white, although her colour photographs are also published.

With the unusual, sometimes even whimsical juxtapositions evident in her montages, she transfers viewers to fantastic, mysterious worlds. Her surreal images are also reflections on the world we live in. The works in which she can give vent to her imagination show – as if in a distorting mirror – a slightly different, curved reality full of remarkable flying elephants, but also beautiful flora. Her passion is photographing and immortalising trees, to which she pays a lot of attention in her work. However, she also takes pictures of landscapes, nature views and architecture.

About her work she says: “Photography is a part of my life that I really respect. It makes my imaginative visions free and makes a silent dialogue between me and viewers. It’s a crutch and fullness in my adult age. It’s a way of watching the world that surrounds me.”
