150x150 cm, 2020, oil/canvas
The work by Anna Markuszewska was made on a traditional sub-image and in a traditional oil painting technique. The quality of the technology in which it was painted is also a great asset. The painting is abstract in nature with touches of geometric abstraction. The forms in this painting are simplified, geometric, composed of lines, shapes or spots of color, which are arranged in an abstract whole.
