"Being an artist, I believe, is both a privilege and a mission to make the world a better place." ~ Mike Maciaszek

In 2013, Mike moved to Canada from Poland, embarking on a new chapter in his life. Here, he discovered his passion for photography, which has grown year by year since 2015. Photography has not only become his biggest passion, but also a profound source of meaning in his life. Spending more time in

nature, he realized the positive impact it had on his mental health. Over time, as his photography skills evolved, so did his understanding of its deeper purpose: to inspire others to reconnect with the natural world. He recognized that his talent could raise awareness about the healing power of nature and motivate people to carve out time to spend in the wilderness.

​

Over the years, he has showcased his work in various locations across Alberta and British Columbia, including the Central Library and Bankers Hall. His latest immersive exhibition, Reconnect: The Healing Power of Nature, will be open to the public for several months at the Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel starting November 13th. The exhibition is dedicated to highlighting the positive impact nature has on mental health.
