Mountain of Love is part of Marcelina Amelia's Dreaming Rituals Series, expressing her dreams about the magnetic mountain. She writes 'Be like a mountain, an embodiment of peace. You can rise very high but at the same time, you are permanently connected to the ground, deeply rooted in Mother Earth. The holy mountain is a magnet that also gives safety and at the same time attracts.' Marcelina Amelia was told by Natalia Miłuńska, the founder of the school of Dreaming, ‘In the Chinese Book of Changes, a mountain is a symbol of a new peace.’
Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.

Marcelina Amelia lives and works in between Kraków, Poland, and Brighton, UK, and works with mixed media approaches to print, painting, and drawing. Marcelina Amelia’s art draws inspiration from her Polish heritage and often portrays women on their own touching on themes of self-acceptance and body positivity.
Amelia is influenced by her Polish heritage and childhood memories, religious iconography and folk tales, dreams, the human condition, spirituality, and sexuality. Amelia’s works celebrate body positivity. Her introspective mixed-media portraits are simultaneously vulnerable and empowering and play on the border between positivity and negativity, lust and innocence, and joy and sadness. Amelia says of her work: “My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with Eastern European culture which was eloquently described by Grayson Perry as nowhere else where ‘such horrific grief met with such fairy tale romanticism.” Amelia has exhibited across the UK and internationally. Her artwork has been published in various magazines and online platforms including Vogue, Refinery29, The NY Times, Booooooom, Bomb, Art Maze, Create Magazine, Digital Arts, Der Spiegel, and Ballad Of Magazine. In 2017 she was a featured artist at the London Illustration Fair, and a year later was Saatchi Art’s featured ‘Artist in Spotlight’ at The Other Art Fair in Bristol.
We love the way Marcelina draws inspiration from her Polish heritage. She often portrays women on their own touching on themes of self acceptance and body positivity, celebrating the power to be found within women's bodies. Marcelina has said of her artwork: “Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.” She finds the light within each of her subjects, and each of her portraits are engaging and full of energy.
