From a limited edition of 60, 'How to Fill the Void' is a stunning giclée print from contemporary artist Marcelina Amelia. Bearing the hallmarks of Marcelina's distinct artistic style, the piece combines religious and folk iconography with themes of memory, sexuality and womanhood. The artwork is signed and numbered by the artist.
Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.

Marcelina Amelia lives and works in between Kraków, Poland, and Brighton, UK, and works with mixed media approaches to print, painting, and drawing. Marcelina Amelia’s art draws inspiration from her Polish heritage and often portrays women on their own touching on themes of self-acceptance and body positivity.
Amelia is influenced by her Polish heritage and childhood memories, religious iconography and folk tales, dreams, the human condition, spirituality, and sexuality. Amelia’s works celebrate body positivity. Her introspective mixed-media portraits are simultaneously vulnerable and empowering and play on the border between positivity and negativity, lust and innocence, and joy and sadness. Amelia says of her work: “My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with Eastern European culture which was eloquently described by Grayson Perry as nowhere else where ‘such horrific grief met with such fairy tale romanticism.” Amelia has exhibited across the UK and internationally. Her artwork has been published in various magazines and online platforms including Vogue, Refinery29, The NY Times, Booooooom, Bomb, Art Maze, Create Magazine, Digital Arts, Der Spiegel, and Ballad Of Magazine. In 2017 she was a featured artist at the London Illustration Fair, and a year later was Saatchi Art’s featured ‘Artist in Spotlight’ at The Other Art Fair in Bristol.
We love the way Marcelina draws inspiration from her Polish heritage. She often portrays women on their own touching on themes of self acceptance and body positivity, celebrating the power to be found within women's bodies. Marcelina has said of her artwork: “Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.” She finds the light within each of her subjects, and each of her portraits are engaging and full of energy.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
