19 Magically Gloomy Illustrations That Helped Their Creator Fight His Depression

Polish artist and graphic designer, Dawid Planeta, has the unique ability to create meaningful and deep pics in gloomy colors. The beauty of his work can take anyone’s breath away and will keep you staring at his art for a while, especially if you know the purpose they were created for. His artwork of the “Mini People” series was created by the artist when he was in a deep depression, to express the feelings he was going through. He managed to turn this dark feeling into works of art and we applaud him for that. Dawid posts his work on his Instagram and Facebook accounts where he has almost 100k followers in total.
