The artwork titled “Tempest” was created by Jacek Yerka in 2012 in Poland. Rendered in pencil on paper, this piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and fits within the landscape genre.
The artwork presents a fantastical depiction of a storm. A colossal, ornate figure resembling a mythological creature merges with ominous clouds, dominating the sky. Intricate patterns and textures embellish the enormous form, which appears to be a fusion of natural and mechanical elements. Suspended lantern-like objects dangle beneath the creature, enhancing the surreal and eerie atmosphere. In the distance, a small, serene landscape of a village stands in stark contrast to the tumultuous sky above. The meticulous pencil work exemplifies both technical prowess and imaginative vision, characteristic of Yerka’s surrealistic approach.
