The Entropy V - one of the series (2021)Mixed-media painting by Kasia Januszkiewicz

This contemporary mixed media painting is created with acrylic and carefully selected industrial waste materials, transformed into a striking circular composition that radiates both strength and delicacy. Thousands of reflective fragments form a textured ring, evoking a halo, a portal, or a symbolic cycle of renewal.

The raw, metallic elements contrast beautifully with the deep, dark center, creating a powerful sense of depth and dimension. What makes this piece truly unique is its dynamic relationship with light — as natural or artificial light shifts throughout the day, the surface subtly changes, catching reflections and producing a shimmering, almost kinetic effect. The artwork feels alive, constantly evolving within its environment.

By incorporating factory waste, the piece carries an additional conceptual layer: transformation, sustainability, and the beauty hidden within discarded materials. It speaks about reinvention — how something industrial and overlooked can become refined, luminous, and poetic.

This artwork works beautifully in modern, minimalist, loft, or industrial interiors, where its texture and light-reactive qualities can fully breathe.
