The painting "Strings" created with acrylic technique on canvas, characteristic of Jan Dobkowski's work from the mid-1970s. The work shows intricately interwoven lines forming a dynamic rhythm undulating on the surface of the painting. The stylization, precision of the stroke, and emotional narrative of the painting refer to the artist's pan-biological reflection and his recognition of the line as an essential element of painterly expression. During this period, Dobkowski intensively developed the themes of linearity and abstraction, breaking the conventions of traditional painting.
