The Challenge: How to Visualize an Abstract Idea.

"Culture" is not a single, concrete object. It is an idea, a feeling, an experience. The challenge was to create posters for two real-world events that were not literal or banal. They had to be as intriguing and multi-layered as culture itself.

A Surrealist Collage Approach.

My solution was to use a surrealist, digital collage style to capture the "flow" of cultural inspiration for both clients.

"Kultura Unosi" (for TVP Kultura): This design visualizes the idea of "being lifted" by culture. Hands (symbolizing creation and reception of art) lift a piano, a stork, and a camera. It's a dreamlike, fluid image.

"Inspirujemy Kulturą" (for the TVP Center for Culture and History): This poster is more dynamic. The face is "sliced" to show inspiration coming from multiple directions, while the paper boat (symbolizing a journey) and circles (symbolizing energy) show the constant motion of thought.
