Hard Being Me, Mini
Marcelina Amelia has created Hard Being Me (Mini) especially for Enter Gallery’s 2022 Virtual Art Yard Sale.
Amelia is an exciting contemporary artist known for her works that dwell on themes of self-acceptance, body positivity, gender and representations of female sexuality.
Her work, which at once is both humorous and tinged with darkness, plays with juxtapositions, and Hard Being Me is a prime example. The subject of the piece lounges back, enjoying the good life with a spot of reading. It's only when you notice the title of the book that the mood of the piece leaps to life.
This giclée print comes signed and numbered by the artist.
Size (cm): 42 x 34.49

Box framing is provided with all our online framing, creating a distance between the glass and your artwork, so no risk of ink transfer to the pane. it's the perfect, gallery grade choice for limited edition prints or original artworks.
Shadow float mounting is an option at our website, to give the appearance of an artwork floating within the frame. The mount – an archival foam core – creates depth too, by casting a shadow beneath the artwork. We highly recommend using a float mount when framing artwork with deckled (hand-torn) edges.

About the artist
Contemporary artist Marcelina Amelia draws inspiration from her Polish heritage, looking to traditions of folklore and religious iconography to develop a distinctive contemporary aesthetic. Blending childhood nostalgia with the power of dream, Amelia’s work takes a surreal look at the human condition, exploring the tensions and juxtapositions that define our lives. She explains: “I like to play at the tense borders between lust and innocence; joy and sadness; fun and pain. My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with East European culture.”
In 2018, Rebecca Wilson, chief curator at Saatchi Art, highlighted Amelia as an artist to invest in, while Saatchi curator Monty Preston recognised her as “unquestionably an artist on the rise.”
She has been featured in publications including Booooooom, Digital Arts, Art Wednesday, Vogue and Ballad Of Magazine. She exhibited at D&AD, New Designers, London Design Festival, London Illustration Fair, and took part in Faberge’s Big Egg Hunt.
