"To tell the truth, I believe that by creating art which transmits serious meanings and subjects, an artist has the power and influence to force to reflect about ourselves and our planet and to point the attention to significant problems that our world currently deals with. In this way my work refers to the creation of a better world, 'home' and respect for all living creatures. In my works I want to stress the fact that nowadays many species of animals are in danger of disappearing and their global population has declined among others tigers, polar bears, sea turtles, elephants, rhinos, pandas."
- Marcin Owczarek

In his mystical collages Marcin Owczarek uses the threat to the animal world to draw attention to the ongoing destruction of our habitat. At the same time, the animals are also a metaphor for humanity with their characteristics and virtues. The encounter with the art of Marcin Owczarek inevitably leads the viewer to refllect on himself and his actions against the background of the enormous and urgent challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and environmental destruction.
Owczarek compares the creation of a new artwork to a voyage. He uses thousands of single photographs, each of which he considers with extreme care before commencing the artistic process. He starts by sketching the image he wishes to generate on a piece of paper; a purely conceptual step. He subsequently turns to the computer to 'give birth' to what he wanted to achieve via his sketch, resulting in a collage. |
