The artwork titled “Mordor Nights,” created by Jacek Yerka, is a notable piece within the Surrealism movement and falls under the genre of literary painting.
In the artwork, a striking depiction of a fiery, apocalyptic landscape can be observed. At its center stands a formidable tower, engulfed in flames and surrounded by a sea of molten lava. The tower appears almost fortress-like, with a myriad of small, window-like openings visible amidst the bright, intense flames. The surrounding terrain is rugged and mountainous, casting dark, jagged silhouettes against a night sky dotted with stars and crescent moons. The overall ambiance of the artwork evokes a sense of foreboding, reminiscent of the treacherous land of Mordor from literary lore, characterized by its nightmarish, yet oddly captivating, scenery.
