Mamalia is a book by Marcelina Amelia – a Brighton-based contemporary artist known for exploring themes of self-acceptance, female sexuality, power, and motherhood.

The book chronicles Amelia’s experience of becoming a mother for the first time against a turbulent global backdrop of pandemic isolation and the All-Poland Women’s Strike, which was a reaction to tightening laws surrounding abortion.

The book rose from the artist’s strong need to address the universal topic of women being expected to ‘suffer in silence’. Via essays, photographs, sketches and paintings, Amelia explores the highs and lows of becoming a mother - ‘its creations, inspirations and frustrations.’

Her practice spans painting, print, textile, photography, installation, video, and performance. Drawing from her Polish heritage, Marcelina explores themes of migration, motherhood, mental health, feminism, spirituality, personal rituals, dreams, and the complexities of the human experience. Her work blends folklore with contemporary narratives, childhood memories with emotional rawness, and sacred symbols with a deep sensitivity to the cycles of life and nature.

Her visual language plays with the tension between desire and innocence, creating a poetic unease that invites emotional reflection. At the heart of her practice lies a fascination with memory both personal and collective and the transformative power of storytelling. Whether through performances or intimate artworks, she creates space for shared vulnerability, empathy, and healing.
