This Artist Uses His Art To Depict The Dark Side Of The Society That We Live In (30 Pics)
There are so many issues in the world. From global warming to consumerism, to how we see ourselves and social media addiction. Michal Dziekan uses his work to illustrate these social issues and perhaps make you rethink your choices and lifestyle.
At first glance, his colorful art reminds us of cartoons and fun illustrations. However, Michal's artwork hides some deeper ideas and you will soon realize this art is not for kids. He uses bright hues and a happy mood to convey important issues of the modern world.

"The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit." Proverbs 15:4
Michal is a Polish illustrator. On his website, he says: "I'm Michal Dziekan, aka this famous illustrator you have never heard of before. Shall we change that now?" On the website, he sells prints of his artwork. So if you really like his work, you can even hang it on your wall and support his craft.

I must agree. Driving drunk can and will hurt the driver and others on the road.

Allow me to blow on that and watch it crumple down in a second.
He also says that art is very important to him and he puts a lot of effort and ideas into his pieces: "Art is my blood, sweat, and tears translated into pixels and printed. It's my very own shroud of Turin and I am offering it to you. Let's bring some joy into our life!"

Unhappy With What He Does
Jon Wicz 4 years ago
I love this one! To me, it resembles how many of us surround ourselves with positive, inspirational & motivating materials or post encouraging memes on social media thinking it will make us a more positive person. When in relaity we often feel the opposite. There are ups and downs in life. We're all entitled to our feelings. Being encouraging couldn't hurt right? But do most people actually believe these inspirational materials enough to feel good about them selves or to care more about about others? I feel this illustrates the lack of connection we have to one another and how we try to find our answers in a quote. The inspiring materials are just the beginning. Be brave, be vulnerable & dare to change the way you care about yourself and care about others.

Cruel Reality

The 1% live in their La La Land, insulated from reality by their lucre.
Michal has a very unique drawing style. His work is very colorful and bright, the people he draws all have exaggerated features, and some even look grotesque and eerie. He has created a detailed fantasy world that reminds us of ours and I believe that makes his artwork even more creepy and disturbing.

Think For Yourself, Don’t Buy Stuff You Don’t Need

Always ask yourself, 'Do I NEED it? Or do I want it?' Helps me out. Every. Single time!

The artist uses a lot of metaphors and hidden meanings in his work. In one of the artworks' titles "Unhappy With What He Does" we can see a lot of irony. In "Honesty" there are a lot of hidden messages. Can you spot them all?
