The central element of the composition is an architectural dominant, which may symbolize the Palace of Culture and Science, one of Warsaw’s most recognizable symbols. The artist depicts it in a simplified way, giving it a monumental, almost mythical character.
In the foreground, dense urban development is visible, stretching to the horizon. The artist uses darker shades of purple and brown to capture the color of roofs and buildings, creating an impression of depth and space.
The sky above the city is depicted in warm shades of orange and pink, suggesting a sunset or sunrise. This element of the composition gives the painting an oneiric, dreamlike character.
“Warsaw,” is a painting that emanates peace and nostalgia. Jeklin creates a vision of the city that is both recognizable and completely new. It is a work that combines elements of urban landscape, impressionism, and symbolism, creating a unique and unforgettable image of Warsaw.
