Relief No. 35
Relief No. 35 is an example of Stażewski’s work exploring spatial form and texture. The piece is characterized by a three-dimensional composition where geometric shapes protrude above the surface, creating dynamic structures. The artist uses a minimalist color palette, focusing on structure and spatial arrangement. The work combines geometric abstraction with experimentation of matter and space.

The artwork invites reflection on space and matter, showing how geometric form can come alive in a three-dimensional structure. It is a meditation on the limits of traditional painting and ways to extend it.
The key to interpreting the work
The piece should be interpreted as a spatial experiment where texture and relief are key to understanding the composition. Observing the relationship between protrusions and flat surfaces reveals the dynamics of the form. "Relief No. 35" is an invitation to redefine the boundaries of painting through the integration of sculptural and geometric elements, emphasizing minimalism and structure as foundations of artistic expression.See other works by this artist
