The Black Table 

"The Black Table" by Iwo Zaniewski, a Polish artist born in 1956, depicts a simple still life scene of a black table in a room with a checkered floor. The table dominates the composition, its round shape contrasting with the sharp angles of the chair and the geometric pattern of the floor. The use of flat color and simple forms creates a sense of quiet contemplation and a stark, minimalist aesthetic. This painting is characteristic of Zaniewski's work, which often explores the interplay of light and shadow, color and form, and everyday objects to evoke a sense of stillness and introspection.
