Light minimalism

Recently I got wonderful hard mattress to sleep. Finally! My back has cried because of tortures which soft bed is for my spine... Its apperance allowed me also to play with lights and shadows in my new bedroom. Learning about the daily journey of the Sun's rays is always fun and challenge in one.

Green Fairy

Oooh, it's so long since I make tincture last time... I love creating alcohols, especially strong alcohols. Of course, without following recipes that someone else checked. Every time my tinctures are delicious surprise. And fresh Spring herbs combined with trees give gorgeous magic!

Sleeping Volcano

It was the second time I stepped onto this terrifying ground. The arth is so exploited there that it's felt deep within. The landscape is so... unnatural. But it also shows what humanity do with its own environment. Without respect towards Nature.

The Rock's Majesty

For very long time I've wanted to create photos where I'll be able to contrast fragility of human body, softness of female skin, with power of rocks. To show how some opposite ingredients can create amazing force of strong character closed in small space.

Maybe you remember photos with Księżycolica - they are still here, in my Patreon gallery. I'm grateful for lessons that cooperation g...

Forest Fairytale

Do you think about hidden creatures living in the Forest when you calmly walk through it? Not about these from old tales. These, who still exist, who don't understand new world, but who still try to find themselves in this reality? To fit in somehow, to feel understood and accepted?

On one hand beings filled with courage to try to fight for the rest of their worlds. On the other extremely...

Painting Attic

Today I finished a painting which I started to create about year ago. It needed time, it needed calmness of mind as well as wildness of heart. It's made on wooden frame of mirror which I broke years ago (when you move from place to place some things just don't have luck with clumsiness...). So, during painting I thought "Why not to create also few self-portraits?".

As I wrote in other pos...

Hot bath

After amazing Pink full Moon the hot, long bath is something really necessary! How about you? Did you also have magical time?

Violin Sanctuary

Lately I photograph a bit less, because of the changes in my life, some of you might have seen on Instagram, I need to create nice space for me first. Second - new projects of Your Heritage Foundation take some time.

But! I try to find time to create some photos and also to open myself for music. Long time ago I used to sing, I used to like to sing. Many circumstances made me closed in th...

Attic Library

""Joseph Campbell wrote, "myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths". Myths are the dreams of a culture, representing the needs and perspectives of a people in the same way our personal dreams help us to process and understand our own desires, the ways in which we see ourselves and, consequently, our own place in the universe.""

The Path

It can be easy.

It can be harsh.

It can be soft.

It can be filled with pain.

Which one would you choose?

If you have possibility to choose.

And would it be really your choice?

To keep yourself.

Your love.

Alive.

Luminous

I was drowning in deep blackness.

I was crawling in profound mud.

It would seem, endlessly.

I found the light. I let it exist.

I helped it to bloom.

To not die. Not once. Nor twice.

Look for it within yourself.

Always.

Shamaniac

Dig deep inside you.

Through the darkest parts.

Through pain and tears.

Find your pure wildness.

It is within.

Maybe forgotten, maybe damaged.

But it exists.

This one without traumas. Without fear.

Dig it up to fight your monsters.

Heal yourself.

Forest Fury

Released metamorphosis.

Calmness or madness.

Sprites' unknown.

Wildness.

Secret Garden

Different people have named her differently.

Different people have known different selves of her.

Who is she?

If you'll listen carefully old stories that Trees, Stones, Water, Wind sings around, maybe you'll find the answer.

Fairy Horses Cooperation

Today I invite you to realms of many many different fairy tales, trough which I've searched for myself, learned my destroyed courage, nurtured my hidden selves. Let's join the travel through wild depths, princess dreams, war lands. The spaces of lovely fantasies. I invite you to these travels with photographer - Anna Sychowicz.

For the first time we met in 2015 and since that time we've c...

Succubus

Just follow the imagination.

Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom

Love me 

Danse Macabre

Such beautiful morning filled with quiet Mist. With calm songs of ravens, tawny owl and many sweetly singing birds.

Maybe this is remedy for the heart shattered into billions of pieces...?

Elemental Spells

Fly with the Wind that brings changes.

Driada

Sound of murmuring brook and dancing grass.
Wind gently playing with hair like with clouds above.
Sun lovely caressing skin.

Sitting there, with wonderful early Spring atmosphere, my memory ran to Driada. For me she was always cat-non-cat. Such delicate character with so strong spirit. Always quiet with mesmerising gaze. Deadly hunter, even for rats. And her smell... Through aromas ...

Pokot

Bare feet.
Warm grass.
Cold water.

Smells.
Sounds.
Fill the senses.

Storm inside.
Growls.
Howls.

Is hungry.

She-Wolf

P.S. Sometimes it's good to have assistant during photos. Not to give a hand but to catch moments full of grace... ;)

Silent Coffee

Yes, Wierzbo, we need to live here right now. We should learn to behave like ladies, we should learn to wear proper clothes, we should this... we should that... we should...

You'll be really happy again.

Neighborhood

May I introduce you my new neighbors? They are really amazing old beings. I'm already enchanted by their wonderful energy and I hope to create small friendship with some of them.

Morning

Calm and creative.

Simply.

Muzzled

Should wildness be tamed?
Can wildness be tamed?
For how long?
With what consequences?

Imagine all muffled animals treated like toys.
Imagine Trees bred mainly as timber farms.
Imagine rivers put into straight canals.

Imagine natural veto.

Pine Ghosts

How the art is valued nowadays? How the art can be promote in such weird world, where photo of bottom offends somebody's feelings, because they instantly see only sexuality. How can we live in calm reality, when somebody's happiness stings in the eyes of others? When people want to control everything and everybody by hard restrictions, often cruel rules? When people compete in some kind of rat-...

Wild Life

When I was a kid I really enjoyed painting and drawing. It was amazing that I could create and show to the world what I saw in my imagination. What I missed to so much...When my small "talent" was noticed, I was sent into an art club which was soooo boring! Ok - I practised there technique of shapes, chiaroscuro but each lesson slowly killed my creativity...

One of standard task was paint...

Girl with the Pearl

During the last about half a year many things have changed in my life. I've photographed a bit less. Instead of it I returned to paper and ink with pleasure. Beside the crazy world we still  don't give up and with my Your Heritage Foundation we work on several projects.

With calmness in my mind, smile on fa...
