Description
Original artwork :“Nosek” (lit. “little nose”) — that’s how we called a maple “whirlybird” or “helicopter” in Poland when I was a child. There’s something tender about that small gesture — letting your inner kid win over the anxiety of being seen as weird or immature, and stamping the little seed (or more precisely, the “fruit”, as I recently learned) onto your nose. It makes the world feel a little less scary.The idea for this painting came to me while working on my Master of Fine Arts degree. I was searching for a way to capture the lonely, liminal character of urban spaces. During one of my walks, I came across this small “nosek”, lying wet and decaying on the tarnished copper surface of a miniature model of Warsaw’s streets. It struck me as a quiet symbol of lost joy and freedom. The fruit was no longer the bright green of my memories — it had withered, just as my own sense of ease living in the city had. Warsaw had pushed me to my limits, and eventually, I left for a smaller town, far from the noise of big metropolises.Thin layers of oil paint overlap to form the reflective, rain-soaked surface. The buildings fade into fog, slightly out of focus, reinforcing the atmosphere of distance and ambiguity.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.Materials used:Oil paint on canvasTags:#urban landscape #modern painting #contemporary realism #blue tones #city painting #emotional art #atmospheric art #rainy street #nostalgic mood #reflective surface #quiet city #moody atmosphere #architectural view #urban melancholy #warsaw cityscape
