Artist, Polish, born 1964

The image shows abstract lines and shapes forming the outline of two reclining human figures. The lines suggest interaction, with one figure appearing to give something to the other. The artwork features fine lines and patches of blue and black hues, resembling a worn fresco or aged parchment. The figures have elongated limbs and simplified forms, resembling sculptures or classical paintings, blending a timeless quality with contemporary abstraction.
