The painting 'Strongwoman' from 1985 is a striking work by Jan Dobkowski that depicts female strength and the universal connection between humans and nature. The artist presents a person in their natural form, stripped of cultural attributes, focusing on the physical presence of the woman in a dynamic, almost metaphysical composition. The painting features vivid, strong colors, with the heroine's bright blue hair and an expressive use of lines that build the drama and dynamism of the work. The whole emanates passion, spontaneity, and metaphysical depth, referring to expressionist visions.
