Paulina Wróblewska creates lifelike acrylic paintings of big cats, capturing their strength, vulnerability, and quiet dignity through detailed fur textures, carefully observed anatomy, and expressive eyes. Entirely self-taught, she developed her practice through digital drawing before moving to canvas, where she found greater freedom to express emotion.

Some paintings ask you to admire them. Sally Edmonds’ work asks you to look back. By removing every distraction, she brings you face to face with a bird as an individual present, aware, impossible to ignore. What seems simple at first becomes something else entirely: a moment of recognition, where a subject you’ve overlooked your whole life suddenly feels personal.
