The artwork titled “Kacper and Anka” was created by Wilhelm Sasnal in 2009 and is part of the New European Painting movement. This figurative and portrait genre piece showcases Sasnal’s distinct style, underscoring the human presence within its visually evocative narrative.
The artwork predominantly features a serene yet somber environment with two silhouetted figures standing beside a body of water. The reflections of the figures in the water create a contemplative mood. The colors and composition evoke a sense of calm introspection, with the muted tones of the landscape contrasting with the vibrant blue of the water. Various dark, indistinct objects float on the water’s surface, adding an element of mystery to the scene. The treatment of light and shadow, along with the painterly texture of the surface, demonstrates Sasnal’s mastery in capturing fleeting moments of human experience set against the backdrop of nature.
