Sławomir Elsner is renow­ned for his vir­tuosic drawings and water­colours, in which he rein­ter­prets iconic works of both historical and modern pain­ting. Images that are often all too familiar from reproduc­tions lose their sharp­ness in Elsner’s hands, gaining instead a sense of mystery and atmospheric allure.

The puzzle, based on one of his drawings, offers an extreme jour­ney into a tangle of thousands of coloured lines, from which the misty image of the most famous work of art in Polish museum col­lec­tions gradually emerges.
