This Polish artist’s surreal work is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and artist Igor Morski is an expert at conveying powerful truths through condemning illustrations. Just take a look at his controversial artwork below. Each piece calls out an ugly aspect of society while inspiring its appraiser to question the ‘norms’ we’ve all grown accustomed to.
According to DeMilked, the Polish artist and co-owner of Morski Studio Graficzne graduated with honors from the Interior Architecture and Industrial Design Faculty at the State Higher School of Fine Art in Poznań. He worked for public broadcasting in the 80’s and 90’s before finally pursuing a career in press illustration. In 1995, he opened his first studio.
While working at Wprost magazine, Morski was inspired to cultivate his surrealist style. He says:
“This, I must admit, made a great impression, because people were not familiar with Photoshop, and many illustrations were taken literally, as if what was shown in the illustration was really true. This was especially true of photomontages with politicians. The fact that since then I have worked on photographic material has caused realism to appear in my work. The mere fact of depicting everything upside down has made me a surrealist.”

Intensely creative
working super
Unfortunately … we are all, but we can change the world.
These kind of images are also ways of interpreting and thinking about the world. These images are like constructive memory. They can represent parts of a whole. They miniaturize and summarize the most problems of the world into one image. The 33 mainly is related to how every one is treated in this world like addresses, people are addresses and not houses. And they are the product of the society, people who explot themselves though choices, they choose to evolve choices. But how one people can change the whole as making great leaps and how all could make the same great leaps where two brains think better than one.
… making leaps to make less choices but better and greater for each one and everyone if everyone wants to accept the choices of the many or groups or selections of people…
I’d have to say he borrowed heavily from Dali but he made it his own. Nice paintings.
Let’s turn the world’s problem really simple??? and it appears in this form: who wants a planet? resumed and summarized the world’s problem, if everyone want a bigger thing with new everythings even consciousnesses and energies and realms and whatever you think it is going to be in your image, this is the master question that helps solve every problem in the planet, but then there is the question who wants to save this one, nature, purity, gift, uniquity, fertility? You will never get the gift of natural fertility in another planet… animals and plants don’t tell you that you are in a prison reality like matrix or games or paradoxes. think on it
and from this point of view you can detect lies, hoaxes, conspiracies, cover ups, know true values of nature, know you are real, this planet is home and no one should screw with it and if they want to screw up they go fuck themselves and sell and exploit their ass to another planet. because this planet is our home and every beings home, common home, people are just inhabitants and no one in this planet is going to find a planet like this in a billion years. you know now from this point there are no aliens because of the discrepancies of the dimensions of the ships, that we will not be attacked by aliens because they would populate external planets first, that they are fighting for this planet while they have others… go make the skynet and mad max and matrix to saturn or another solar system, because you can’t screw with beings or their home and natural gift and birth gift habitat… not anymore. I will stop them and everything they try to do. and you can also see that their way of thinking is not helping no one because if people think in health, healing and green energy probably they would be on mars already for years… make cheapest ships that work. from this idea everyone can rethink everything and this means earth is no ones it is common good and that it can be saved. everything can be corrected and healed if you know the good state of everything and reverse the process. why so many destruction and pollution, because they don’t know what they are doing and they like to live to the cost of others. and everyone is being lied because i believe everyone owns money to jupiter somehow and there are very good people that earn money and make the bankers and imperialists earn more with that technology than themselves, for more compare proportions. they earn trillions while those people earn what thousands?? that’s stupid. and if everyone where awake they would finish this subject right now like how do people even scientists and hackers don’t know the truth about their lives and follow the money path, fate and destiny, because if someone knew it would already have been ended and overthrown by better life coherent to natural habitat ideology. actually they are fucking everyone for thousands of years, look to the layers of slavery to the money system. and since 20 years till now everyone is going straigth down to zero. because that makes some people think it is normal and that we have planet’s issues and other people try to join the system to make more money. Earth has to be saved now, because who wants to yet live in their lifetime the most natural gifted earth everyone can get. And there are counters like the fukushima disaster leak, i consider that a counter in my ideology. Everything on earth can be reversed to its most original state. And there are big and small things that need to be saved right now. Beings need health and happiness and you can also start from there.
now think why governments and corporations dont tell everyone that they can save earth? I think from good will and gesture everyone can think in the direction of good and healthy than in bad directions. everyone can decide if the next action will be good or bad
Thank you Anonymous for accepting my messages, i hope it helps solve the problem
