I act as if I don't care if people dislike me. Deep down I secretly enjoy it. - Wednesday Addams

In the central point of the painting, we see a portrait of Wednesday, a character known from The Addams Family, famous for her dark and eccentric personality. Her face is depicted in a realistic manner, reflecting her character's distinctive expression and dark aesthetic. However, what makes this portrait stand out is the tattoo placed on her neck, which contrasts with her dark nature, presenting an element of Pop-art ease and humor.

Below Wednesday's portrait is a neon sign reading "Keep Smiling", which adds an element of surrealism and irony to the entire work. This statement is at odds with Wednesday's personality and the overall tone of The Addams Family, which is known for its dark humor and cynicism. The neon sign creates a clear contrast to the darkness of Wednesday, thus emphasizing the funny and satirical aspect of the artwork.

Artist Biography

In 2004 I started my adventure with art at Secondary Art School. After graduation, I began studying at the Art Institute at Opole University in the field of Artistic Education and New Media.

In my master's thesis, I describe Street Art, in which I find most of my inspiration. Since then, I have been creating a series of works inspired by Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and many more graffiti artists. Art gives me the opportunity to express myself and my emotions in a very ecstatic and colorful, crazy way. It also presents a surprising combination of traditional painting with the urban style.

The second part of my art is wildlife. By illustrating wild animals with grey backgrounds and splatter details I’m showing my current thoughts and feelings about the world around me. Many of the works were created with the help of my authorial technique with textures of acrylic paint and metallic silver and copper colors. I'm a member of the Union of Polish Artists and Designers.
