sail

by Beata Bieniak

The exquisite artwork is a colourful waterscape. You can see the light of the sun reflecting amazingly in the taffrails as it brushes them. The sky, although a little greyish, is calm, as is the water. Off to the side, a small boat can be seen slowly gliding through the gentle waves. This unique and peaceful view that fills the spectator with a relaxed feeling is part of a fantastic world created by an artist specialising in photomontage.

The artist works mainly in black and white, but here she has chosen colour to emphasise the uniqueness of the waterscape. The shimmering water and the blurred sky have an almost hypnotic effect on the viewer, stopping him or her in their tracks.

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.”
