The composition of the painting is dense and multi-layered. Numerous irregular rectangles and rounded shapes in shades of yellow, orange, red, and subtle violets overlap, creating the illusion of three-dimensional space. These abstract elements may symbolize urban architecture seen from above or from the perspective of a pedestrian lost in a maze of streets. Darker contours and lines reinforce the structure of the painting, emphasizing the complexity and multitude of paths within this visual labyrinth.
In the central part of the painting, more recognizable forms emerge, resembling church towers or other characteristic elements of the urban landscape, suggesting a specific reference to urban space, perhaps Warsaw, where the artist works. However, these figurative accents are subtly incorporated into the abstract whole, giving it additional depth and meaning.
“Labyrinth,” is a painting that emanates energy and dynamism, while also inviting contemplation and the discovery of hidden connections between individual elements. The richness of colors and the complexity of forms make this artwork constantly surprising and offering new perspectives with each viewing. It is an ideal proposition for lovers of abstraction and urban landscapes who appreciate original and intellectually stimulating works of art.
