The artwork, titled “Dominika,” was created by Wilhelm Sasnal in 2001. It belongs to the New European Painting and Pop Art movements and is categorized as a portrait.
The artwork depicts a young individual with a short hairstyle, exuding an air of confident nonchalance. The subject is seen holding a cigarette in their mouth, contributing to a sense of rebellion or casual defiance. Rendered in monochromatic tones, the painting exudes a vintage, almost noir-style aesthetic. The minimalistic background ensures that the focus remains firmly on the subject, whose direct gaze and relaxed posture evoke a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The use of bold contrasts and clear lines typical of Pop Art style, combined with the reflective attributes of the New European Painting movement, create a compelling visual narrative that captures a specific moment in time.
