Maciek Blaźniak (b. 1984) is a Polish illustrator based in Łódź and co-founder of award-winning studio Ładne Halo, where he creates compelling visual narratives. His work is driven by a sensitivity to the rhythm of everyday life, which he develops through street photography. The experiences he captures with his camera – urban geometry, fleeting moods, and textures – become the foundation for his illustrations. This approach allows him to build worlds focused on architecture and landscape that, while devoid of human figures, are infused with human presence.
