Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak Storytelling from Borderlands of Worlds

Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak
Storytelling from Borderlands of Worlds

June 13 2015

Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak is a daredevil with a good eye and the guts to go beyond what meets the eye. Exploring worlds you don’t understand, confronting you with uncharted territories you didn’t even know exist. Just open yourself to the experience.

A large part of his work revolves around psychoactive plants and the men and women who enter into this bond of spirit to realign us with cosmic law. From ayahuasceros of South America to the Bwiti priests of Central Africa.

The compilation below just gives you a taste of the fantastical trip that is waiting for you if you dig deeper at these places:

Their latest exploration into generative AI seems like a natural evolution of their practice.

Saskia Olde-Wolbers
Drowned Worlds in Slow Motion

It is rarely possible that an artist’s vision pierces me to the heart at first glance. Dutch artist Saskia Olde-Wolbers did so. Her clear as a bell vision is unmistakable and unique.

Sophy Hollington is a Brighton-based illustrator who has made a name for herself through her unique take on futuristic folklore realized in linocut.
