Angel, devil and Mirror 

Iwo Zaniewski's intriguing painting presents us with a vibrant, enigmatic scene, dominated by the symbolic interplay of creation and duality. We see both the figure of a devil, and the faint outline of an angel in two canvases facing each other. The image of the devil is a motif deeply embedded in our cultural memory, historically representing temptation and the darker aspects of human nature. The artist's inclusion of an angel reminds us of the eternal struggle between good and evil, a theme that echoes through centuries of art, from medieval morality plays to Renaissance masterpieces. The contrast between the figures of the angel and the devil reflects a fundamental human conflict, capturing the subconscious tension between our highest aspirations and our basest desires. The motif of the angel can be seen in Byzantine mosaics and paintings, with some important differences. But here, in Zaniewski's modern setting, the artist is engaging in a powerful psychological exploration, reminding us that these archetypes continue to shape our perceptions.
