I'm Justyna Anwar

A Polish born artist living and creating in the UK

I grew up in the mountains of Poland, where long hikes, quiet forests, and wide open views shaped the way I see the world. Those early years surrounded by nature stayed with me — even as life led me into a scientific career in the UK and, eventually, far beyond to places like the Himalayas.

Today, I’m a mixed-media and oil painter, creating work inspired by the landscapes, animals, and wild spaces that have marked my journey. From red squirrels and deer to rugged peaks and shifting skies, I paint to capture the sense of wonder, freedom, and belonging that nature has always given me.

My studio is where those memories and adventures take form — layered textures, expressive colour, and moments of stillness that invite you to step closer and reconnect with the wild.

This is just a glimpse of my story.

Adventure

In my work, Adventure is not just about distant landscapes - it is an inner pull toward the wild places that shaped me and continue to inspire my brush. Every painting begins with exploration: travelling through forests, moors, and mountain paths, observing the quiet stories unfolding in nature. Whether it’s the alert gaze of a red squirrel or the still majesty of a stag, these subjects remind us that the world is vast, alive, and waiting to be rediscovered. Through my art, I invite you to step beyond the familiar and wander into the untamed -where curiosity leads, and wonder follows.

Beauty

Beauty is the heartbeat of every piece I create - found in the vivid colours of flowers, the softness of fur caught in light, or the drama of stormy skies. My mixed-media and oil techniques allow me to layer texture and emotion, resulting in art that has depth and surprises time after time. In a world that often rushes past the small miracles around us, my aim is to pause, appreciate, and celebrate the splendour that surrounds us. These paintings are an invitation to bring that timeless natural beauty into your space and let it speak to your senses every day.

Connection

At the core of my work lies Connection - the belief that we are not separate from nature but deeply woven into its story. Each animal I paint carries symbolism of resilience, intuition, guardianship, and presence. Each landscape holds memory and meaning. My motivation is to remind us that we belong to this earth alongside every creature, and that recognising this bond is essential for our well-being and for the protection of the natural world. Through texture, colour, and emotion, I aim to create art that makes you feel rooted, seen, and part of something greater.
