Family Polyptych
Family Polyptych is an elaborate multi-part composition depicting various scenes and characters referring to the themes of family, interpersonal bonds, and daily relationships. The artist uses his characteristic style – subdued color palette, precise manipulation of light, and deep symbolism – to create a multi-layered narrative. Each panel tells a separate story, but together they form a coherent whole that invites reflection on the essence of family and its role in an individual's life.

The key to interpreting the work
The polyptych should be interpreted as a multi-layered story about family, where each panel is a separate fragment of a larger whole.

The work combines a traditional approach to the theme with modern aesthetics and symbolism, creating space for personal reflection on relationships and identity. It encourages consideration of the role of family in life and the impact of these bonds on shaping human existence.See other works by this artist
