About the idea behind Maris Luminaris
Maris Luminaris is a journey through the layers of the world – natural, cultural and emotional.
It’s a notebook of wanderings, a record of moments caught along the way, a gentle documentation of fleeting things.
You’ll find here texts, photographs, sketches and signs – not arranged like news, but like letters written to someone close.
Nature
Insects, plants, processes. Close-ups of the world that usually stays underfoot.
Time&memory
Forgotten places, stories, and people who vanished – but left traces behind.
Discoveries
Everyday details you’d normally miss – magnified, brought closer, filtered through wonder.
Why Maris Luminaris ?
Maris Luminaris is a name that doesn’t exist in any dictionary – it was born from a need to create my own space.
A space that is personal, yet open – to others, and to whatever the world might offer.
It’s a name that doesn’t close things – but opens them.
It lets me talk about what’s shared, without losing what’s personal.
MARIS
Means sea – an element that connects, carries, blurs borders. Unknown and never fully mapped.
LUMINARIS
Carries the echo of light – stars, lamps, signals – illuminating what’s not always visible.
From the wanderer’s notebook
My name is Paweł. I grew up in Słupsk, Pomerania, in northern Poland – and I’m still here, by choice.
I’m not a professional photographer, journalist, historian or biologist. I’m more someone who walks own paths slowly, takes notes, returns with a camera, and tries to understand why something caught my eye.
I’ve always been fascinated by those who went first: explorers of new lands, trappers, mapless wanderers, borderland people. The ones who built the world – and then disappeared from the stories, leaving only traces behind.
I like old maps, side paths, the cracks between science and imagination. Maybe that’s why I collect what is vanishing – and try to keep some of it before it’s gone for good.
I’m not a native speaker either – I learned English through practice.
I’m creating this English version to improve my language skills and share my passion with friends from around the world I’ve met along the way.
