Visual Artist finding human connections in disuniting dilemmas
Ania Blanda is a polish illustrator who focuses her practice on narrating the relationship between animals and human. Her artworks are a digital collage of physical media-drawings, photography or found materials. She is inspired by spontaneity of scrapbooking and the precision seen in XVIII century illustration.
The majority of her artworks start with a physical sketch and then get collaged and edited digitally. In her work, Ania likes to celebrate the lost and destroyed originals from centuries ago, and hopes to give them a new life. She is interested in working for the fashion and music industry, art galleries, and for the communities and spaces around her. She aims to create a relationship with her subject, and then, create a body of work that will mirror it. Her mission is to make art accessible and spiritual for all audiences.
