Summary/Abstract: The article presents the paintings of Maria Mencwel from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, which consist of four works created using the oil on canvas technique. The presented paintings – 'Substantia Grisae', 'Studium czułości', 'Poronienie', and 'Ear Pods Fossil' – constitute an artistic form of validation of practice within a scientific publication. Each piece is accompanied by a brief commentary by the artist, which addresses themes of non-human mourning, interspecies tenderness, the concept of hydrofeminism, and the intertwining of distant time scales.
