The composition of the painting is complex and multi-layered. In the foreground, a grid of lines dominates, resembling a city map or architectural plans. Within these structures, abstract shapes and color patches in shades of blue, green, yellow, and orange appear, which may symbolize buildings, streets, parks, or other elements of urban space. A tall, slender form seems to be the central point of the painting, potentially representing a characteristic Warsaw tower or another iconic architectural element.
The upper part of the painting contrasts with the lower part, depicting darker, more organic forms against a night or stormy sky. These abstract elements, resembling leaves or raindrops, may introduce an element of nature into the urban scene or a metaphorical reference to the city’s history and transformations.
“Warsaw, 2015” is a painting that defies straightforward interpretation. It combines elements of geometric abstraction with more free-flowing, organic forms, creating a rich and ambiguous narrative about urban identity. The artwork invites the viewer to contemplation and the discovery of their own associations with the space of Warsaw, as seen through the artistic intuition of Jolanda Jeklin.
