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.

Honesty
Words Can Kill
"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.
Every Drunk Driver Is A Murderer
I must agree. Driving drunk can and will hurt the driver and others on the road.
Games For Adults
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
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!
That, of course, is precisely what the merchants DON'T want us to think!
Load More Replies..."Sales" are so often advertised as "the more you spend, the more you save." I do not, for the life of me, get that "logic." No. The more I spend, the more I spend. I only save by not spending. Or, waiting until the item I need goes on sale and purchasing ONLY that item. "Sales" rope people into buying things they wouldn't have bought in the first place because they don't need it and can't afford it. Then they spend money they don't have on something they don't need and justify the purchase because "it was on sale for 50% off." Congratulations! You just spent $40 on something that cost $5 to make and the seller purchased for $11. The seller only made $29 profit off of you instead of $69 because he put it on "sale."
I'm lucky. I'm short so I'm always near the shelves with the cheap products and way out of reach of the expensive s**t I really don't need.
Victory
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?
