Original artwork description:

This painting is part of my ongoing search within urban spaces. Walks through Warsaw and other cities are an essential element of my artistic process. I find strange intruding elements on the city’s streets and turn them into a story about what is fully visible yet still unseen by ordinary passersby. Each of these findings becomes a moment of reflection on the city’s identity and its cracks, from which untamed traces of disorder and chaos emerge — still present within a large and seemingly organized metropolis.

The day was grey, and I couldn’t stop staring at this oddly organic form pushing through the metal sheet. There was something both ugly and alive about it. I painted it this way because it felt the most honest – raw, textural, and uneasy, like a small rebellion of nature against the surface of order. I often get asked "What does this painting present?" – which, to me, is a sign of success. I've managed to convey the same feeling I experienced looking at it in person.

Exhibited at the artist's master’s degree exhibition “Endurlings. The End of the City” (2025, Warsaw) and at the varsovian Academy’s end-of-year show (2024, Warsaw).

The painting is ready to hang and will be delivered in secure, multi-layered packaging, insured and tracked to ensure its safety during transport. Each work comes with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its originality.
