Supernatural deals with the relationships and dependencies between nature and man. Organic minimalism, combined with the maximalism of numerous structures and textures, is an important element of the author’ work. Walczak interprets the world, atmosphere, flora and fauna, and faces the challenge of illustrating the complexity of nature, in which vital forces, independent of the human hand, create the world around us. The Sun, the central star, gives life, and is the creator of the beauty that surrounds us. Sunlight plays great importance in Supernatural, revealing hidden beauty and showing the brilliant aurora borealis.
