The artwork, titled “Ball,” is a symbolic painting created by the artist Jacek Yerka and belongs to the Surrealism art movement.
The artwork portrays a surreal, spherical object resembling an otherworldly, organic structure. The central form appears to be a hollow, porous ball with an open mouth-like cavity that showcases intricate details and textures. It is submerged in a watery environment, as suggested by the presence of multiple bubbles surrounding the structure. The upper part of the sphere is pierced by numerous elongated, tendril-like extensions, which contribute to the fantastical and mysterious nature of the piece. The color palette consists of muted earthy tones with splashes of red within the sphere, enhancing the symbolic and dream-like quality of the painting. Overall, the artwork evokes a sense of wonder and disquiet, characteristic of the surrealist genre.
