Patryk C, Fingas (b, 1997, Kalisz, Poland) is an environmental artist, designer, photographer and researcher. Through his creative lens, he explores Nature's beauty, degradation and rights in the modern world of the Anthropocene. Through the fusion of art, science and architecture, his work approaches to construct a transversal visual language for georeferenced environmental struggles making climate change data accessible for everyone despite place, distance, language or culture where everyone and anyone can interpret his art and graphics to read up on Nature's struggle

Expanding on his project, Fingas began to develop the TNS (Time For Nature To Speak) website, which aims to bring ecology and artists together, proposing a virtual map-based multimedia platform for research artists to exhibit their work and share their knowledge bringing Nature to our virtual pop culture and debate. 

"Interdisciplinary approaches are needed if we are to understand and solve the problems facing the planet", "artist's function is to search, to discover value, to value discovery, to discover qualities of value"

Andrew Brown, Art and Ecology Now, (2009)

Our realities, ways of being, culture, traditions, and environment have changed several times. We are yet again standing at the front of another revolution which is yet to determine if we survive the forthcoming 1000 years and how. Creativity being the turbine of change, is at the forefront of influencing our future existence, but for that to happen, all professions need to cooperate in one synchronised direction to benefit not only us but, most importantly, the natural environments which construct Nature's balance.
