Dawid Planeta is a Polish artist who fights against depression by painting dreamy images that show us the mysteriously beautiful world inside his mind. The main characters in his pictures are mostly oversized animals with shiny eyes and small human silhouettes. The characters, the many shades of gray and the smokey background create an equally dreamy, magical and creepy atmosphere. All of his pictures are accompanied by a famous quote that can also help you cope with depression or anxiety.
Check out some of the images among his work and explore the jungle of the mind.
