Artist, Polish, born 1969

The image showcases a large, sweeping arc created by a series of dark, bold lines with a graceful curve across the canvas. The main shape resembles an abstract form, suggesting a bridge or a bent limb. This representation emphasizes structure and form, while remaining non-specific. The abstract portrayal encourages viewers to make connections to familiar objects, such as a back arch or a horizon curve, while engaging with the open-ended composition. The background is a diffuse gray, providing a neutral space that accentuates the darkness of the lines, enhancing the contrast and depth of the artwork.
