VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY is an Archival Pigment Ink print with hand-finishing on Somerset 310 gsm with deckled edges by Marcelina Amelia. From a limited edition of 80, this piece is signed by the artist. Vitamin D Deficiency illustrates Marcelina's interest in mental health issues as well as the continuation of her emotional research. A subtle nod to English artist David Hockney and the English weather. The character painted here is a self-aware, sassy meteoropath who tends to absorb the energy of nature, including the Earth, plants and animals.
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.
