RECOMMENDED: Od bursztynu trudno się uwolnić – rozmowa z Lidią Popiel
Artists have been inspired by nature for centuries - plant and animal motifs appear in their works, symbolising love, the fragility of life, harmony, purity and innocence. Plant and animal motifs could also not be missing in works with Baltic amber - a natural resin from tens of millions of years ago, full of inclusions, fragments of fauna and flora that can significantly increase its value. In the artists' hands, pieces of these worlds are transformed into a tribute to coexistence. The attempt to interpret experiencing and feeling with every cell turns the resinous drops into clear evidence of love, Lidia Popiel argues.
