Crazy portrait of Apollo Belvedere. This is one of the first paintings of the artist in which she combined two completely different techniques. The background of the painting was created in the acrylic technique with spray and markers, but the bust of Apollo is painted with oil paints, which adds an interesting shine and elegance to this illustration. This painting is a part of the "Street Art Avenue" series, mixed medium on canvas (spray, markers, acrylic, and oil paint). The sides have been aesthetically painted in black so the artwork can be hung on the wall without framing. Signed on the right by the signature of the author "Mm."

Monika Mrowiec is a contemporary Polish artist and graphic designer whose work is characterized by a unique blend of contrasting metallic colors against subtle gray backgrounds, accentuated by dynamic splashes of paint. This distinctive combination imbues her paintings with a captivating atmosphere and character.

A recurring motif in Mrowiec's artwork is colorful portraits of animals, through which she seeks to capture their beauty and expressiveness while crafting unconventional settings and forms. Beyond mere representation, Mrowiec's paintings serve as a commentary on various events, inviting viewers to reflect and evoke emotions. For her, art is not only a means of expressing individuality but also a vehicle for stimulating imagination and discovering new perspectives.

Mrowiec embarked on her artistic journey in 2004 at Secondary Art School before pursuing further studies at the Art Institute at Opole University, specializing in Artistic Education and New Media. Her master's thesis focused on Street Art, which serves as a primary source of inspiration for her work. Drawing influence from renowned street artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, Mrowiec incorporates elements of their styles into her own creations.

However, Mrowiec views art as a playful exploration that transcends boundaries of style and generation, fearlessly blending ancient motifs with Pop art influences. It is this willingness to forge unexpected connections that distinguishes her work and underscores her artistic vision.
