The artwork, titled “Castle with a certificate,” was created by Jacek Yerka in 2005 in Poland and belongs to the Surrealism art movement, specifically within the landscape genre.
This black and white depiction features an imposing castle elevated on a mound, surrounded by a surreal and twisting pathway. The pathway undulates in an almost serpentine fashion, leading towards the castle which appears to float amidst clouds, emphasizing its ethereal and dreamlike quality. The intricately detailed towers and turrets give the castle a fantastical appearance, merging elements of various architectural styles into a cohesive yet otherworldly structure. The surrounding environment, though minimalistic, complements the surreal and mystical atmosphere, making the artwork a quintessential representation of Jacek Yerka’s imaginative and whimsical artistry within the Surrealism movement.
