Attempt to Interpret Space, 1970s
A painting executed in acrylic on fiberboard measuring 100x100 cm. Signed with pencil on the stretcher frame, bearing the artist's initials. On the back, there is the artist's label with a description of the work and certificates of authenticity. The work presents a complex composition with relief elements – wooden blocks emerging from the surface, creating a three-dimensional effect and illusory space. "Attempt to Interpret Space" illustrates Winiarski's artistic explorations from the 1970s, combining random interplay of white and black with elements of perspective and individual viewer perception. The painting is one of the artist's most important works, showcasing his unique approach to logic and chance in art.

The work explores boundaries between order and chance, stillness and movement, creating an illusion of spatial dualism triggered by the viewer's movement in relation to the painting. It is a manifestation of visual phenomena and the psychological reception of space.
The key to interpreting the work
