The artwork “Kraków–Warszawa” by Wilhelm Sasnal, created in 2006, is a fine example of the New European Painting movement and belongs to the figurative genre.
The artwork portrays a solitary figure standing in an expansive field. The figure is releasing a large, swirling plume of white smoke that contrasts strikingly with the dark, methodically arranged rows of the field. A stark, vertical telephone pole is positioned prominently, dividing the composition and emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. The use of muted, earthy tones in the field is juxtaposed with the dynamic motion of the smoke, creating a sense of stillness disrupted by movement. The overall mood is contemplative and slightly surreal, capturing a moment of deliberate action within a serene yet vast agricultural setting.
