Artist, Polish, born 1960

The image displays vertical, jagged lines with textured layers and vibrant colors, including black, red, yellow, and blue. The abstract composition resembles a split or torn surface, similar to weathered fabric or rock formations. The elements are positioned symmetrically, suggesting columns or tree trunks stripped of bark, against a light background.
