Artist, Polish, born 1950

The image displays a series of rectangular and angular shapes that create a tunnel-like effect, leading towards a central darkened area. The composition combines stone-like textures with a play of light and shadow. There are faint light lines resembling distant lights or openings, set against dominant dark tones that emphasize depth and perspective. The structural elements suggest an alleyway or a modernist subterranean environment.
