This untitled painting was created by Zdzislaw Beksinski, using oil on canvas. The artist employs traditional materials to produce an unconventional result. The painting’s appearance is deeply influenced by its materiality. The oil paint allows for the blending of colors, creating a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. Beksinski's technique involves layering and glazing, building up the image slowly to produce a luminous effect. The rough texture of the canvas contrasts with the smoothness of the figures’ skin, adding depth and complexity to the painting. The use of traditional techniques can be seen as a reaction to the rise of industrial production and mass culture. Beksinski’s focus on craftsmanship elevates the human spirit over mechanized efficiency. The high level of work involved in the production process is evident in the painting's meticulous detail and overall composition. By focusing on the materials, making, and context, we can fully appreciate the depth and meaning of Beksinski’s work.
