“The Place of Origin” is a surrealistic landscape artwork created by Jacek Yerka in 1993 in Poland. The medium used is acrylic on canvas.
The artwork presents a lush, forested pathway flanked by trees, creating a tunnel-like perspective that stretches into the horizon. The foreground features unconventional elements such as an oversized coffee cup and a key, which add a surreal twist to the scene. Further along the path, a group of people is depicted lounging amidst the intriguing landscape. The path itself appears to be floating over an open drawer, enhancing the fantastical nature of the piece. The composition, imbued with dreamlike qualities, invites viewers into a whimsical and imaginative world.
