Our Planet of Bees 2024, print

Our Planet of Bees Limited-Edition Print celebrates the vital role of bees within the natural world through a vibrant composition centred on a globe enveloped in cornflowers and surrounded by bumblebees. Inspired by Mariya Dykalo’s own commitment to supporting pollinators, including maintaining bee hives and cultivating wildflower meadows at her family home in West Sussex, the work reflects a deeply personal engagement with ecology and conservation. Originally created for World Bee Day in support of the South Downs National Park Trust and its Bee Lines initiative, the painting highlights the importance of protecting pollinators and restoring meadow habitats across the South Downs National Park.
