the Poetic Graphics: a parting song

 HELLO!

A year ago I was observing with the highest interest how birds (mostly swallows) are gathering on the power lines before their departure to the warm countries. The result of that observation was a poem pożegnalna pieśń which I published on my other blog (HERE You can read a poem if You want).

So, maybe You are wondering why am I writing this? The reason is simple. 

I decided to translate this poem, then create a graphic background for it, thus making it a part of "the Poetic Graphics" series.

Below there is the net result of my work.

graphics including the rainbow haze

 HELLO!

With the beginning of the March I went on the stroll during which I took a few photos. One of them shows naked branches. It inspired me to create a surreal graphics based on this photo of trees. It was foreseeable. To be fair, it would be strange, if I didn't make one.

Anyway, enjoy!

A mentioned photo showing naked branches. Beginning of the March, 2026.

I cropped the fragment of this photo, and started experiments. Mostly with gradients.

Those experiments resulted in the soft rainbow effect. 

So soft, one may think it's a rainbow mist.

landscape graphics

 HELLO!

I would like to begin my post with a question.

What do You see in the photo below?

I took this photo during the stroll in October 2025.

the Poetic Graphics: green small plane

HELLO!

So, You see, in September 2023 I put up a poem on my other blog. A poem was inspired by a fascinating sight - a green toy aeroplane got stuck in the cherry tree in someone's garden.

HERE You can read the poem in my mother tongue, its title is zielony samolocik. I thought it might be a good idea to translate this poem, and then turn it into a graphic being a part of "the Poetic Graphics".

Below there is a net result of my work.

the Poetic Graphics: green small plane, graphic.

As always a translation was quite a challenge for me.

the Poetic Graphics: with the willowy hair

 HELLO!

This year I created a poem inspired by a view I saw during the stroll in one of the parks in Cracow. I saw a quite lovely pond with a small island. There was a really big willow on this island. 

The original title of mentioned poem is wśród wierzbowych włosów. HERE You can read this if You want to. I translated this poem in order to make it a part of the Poetic Graphics series, and show it on a specially designed background.

Below there is an effect of my work.

peacock graphics

 HELLO!

Back in May 2016 I visited Łazienki Park in Warsaw. There I saw not only beautiful buildings and nature but also lots of peacocks. I'm mentioning this because one of the photos showing a peacock led me to experiment a bit in graphics software.

Peacock strolling in the gardens of Łazienki Park in Warsaw. I took this photo in May 2016.

When I look at this photo it seems to me as if peacock was emerging from flowers, or walking on the surface of flowers. I found this part of photo fascinating. 

rainbowbird

 HELLO!

Some time ago I was browsing through the old photographies, and I found the ones from the Łazienki Park in Warsaw. Among them was a photo of a peahen surrounded by pansies which inspired me to create a colourful graphic.

At the beginning of experimenting, I cut this photo and edited it a little bit.

fun with a photo showing an old stairs

 HELLO!

From time to time I like to have fun with turning photos into surreal graphics. Generally, I chose photos showing trees, and trees are present in a photo which You can see below.

Photo from June 2021. It shows old stairs in the nearby park.

But this time trees aren't the main characters. 

I decided to focus on a part with old stonen stairs instead. 

So, I cut this fragment of photo, and edited it slightly.

two dragons

 HELLO!

If You come by my blog from time to time, then surreal graphics based on a photos of trees are nothing new to You. I sometimes like to take photos of the trees. I find them oddly inspiring.

In today's post I'd like to show You another work created thanks to a photo of trees.

In February 2023 I took this photo in the nearby forest.

So, I cropped a fragment from an above photo, and dived into experimenting. 

complicated thoughts

 HELLO!

So, today I'm coming to You with a collage card I've made in Canva.

Once I was experimenting (and I'm still doing that) in this programme.

Below you can see the net result of my experiments.

complicated thoughts, graphic.

It looks quite surreal. I called this card with a floral motive complicated thoughts. 

the Poetic Graphics: metaMORPHOsises

 HELLO!

Once in 2019 I created a poem about butterflies inspired by certain article. Mentioned article concerned the morpho butterflies. The original title is motyle metamorfozy.

  Here you can read a mentioned poem if you're interested.

I thought it would be interesting and challenging to translate this poem. Obviously, I prepared a special background, so it would become a part of the Poetic Graphics series.

Hope you'll find it entertaining.

the Poetic Graphics: the Treasure Seeker

 HELLO!

Back in 2014 I travelled to Tatra mountains in order to see Morskie Oko. The beauty of the lake was mesmerising, and this journey inspired me to wrote a poem Poszukiwacz skarbu. Here you can read an original poem if you are interested. 

It's really old poem. Recently I thought it would be a good idea to translate poem, prepare a special background for it, and made it a part of the series the Poetic Graphics.

Hope You will find it enjoyable.

blue sorcery

 HELLO!

Occasionally, I find a strange pleasure in taking photos of trees. There's something fascinating in staring at complex trees' branches as they try to reach the sky. It's a usual thing for me to experiment a little with these photos in graphic software.

This is why this post came into being - I've created another surreal graphic based on a photo which you can see below.

I took this photo during the stroll in January 2024.

abstract roses and Small Rainbow Project

 HELLO!

Work called roses which you can see below was prepared with intention of using it as a background for get-well card for someone.

The net result I obtained made me think about roses so that's the genesis of this work's title.

roses, graphic.

A story about this abstract graphic could've ended in this moment. 

Then I felt a sudden urge to experiment with roses. 

And I got carried away with experimentation.

two barberry graphics

 HELLO!

Back in the 2023 I made a photo of a barberry, and immediately took a liking to it.

I took a photo of this barberry at the beginning of March, 2023.

The reason I'm writing about this photo is creation of a graphic from a cropped fragment of this picture (a photo's centre). Then I started to play with it in graphic software. I wanted to create a completely new graphic. After flipping, combining copies of a photo, et cetera I obtained this effect.

mesmerising forest

 HELLO!

From time to time I'd like to snap pictures of the nature. Trees happen to be impressive models.

Photos of trees sometimes inspire me to create crazy, and surreal graphics.

That's the reason why I wrote this post - I've made another surreal graphic. 

I took this photo on April this year in the nearby forest.

the Poetic Graphics: The wild notes

 HELLO!

Today I would like to show another piece of series the Poetic Graphics. 

This time I've translated a poem created in the end of July 2022. Notatki nieokiełznane - that's the original title of poem, concerns reflection on the old notes, full of knowledge, and various doodles. 

Below you can see translated poem in the form of a colourful graphic.

unreal impression

 HELLO!

From time to time I spend time on creating surreal graphics which are based on photographies of trees.

Trees are inspiring. Trees can save you during the hot day in the city.

Anyway you see another surreal graphic today.

Here you see trees from nearby forest. I took this photo this year on February.
That day weather was really lovely.

I cropped out a part of this photo and experimented with it.

the Poetic Graphics: manga

 HELLO!

From time to time it's good to immerse into manga's universe. In the end of August 2021 this immersion led me to write a poem concerning japanese comics. 

Now I'd like to show you a translation of this poem (called: manga) with a special background, as a part of the series the Poetic Graphics. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Here you can see an original poem.

abstract sunset graphics

 HELLO!

Lately I was experimenting with combining random colours into abstract graphics.

One of those graphics which you see below gave me a vibe of sunset.

There's no title, graphic.

Got to like this graphic so I decided to continue work with There's no title.
