The painting 'Series 13' from 1976 is a work executed in acrylic on wood and board measuring 70 x 70 cm. Signed at the bottom: 'series 13. winiarski 76'. The piece is one of Winiarski's important realizations, fitting into the trend of geometric abstraction and conceptualism. The artist combines order with chance in his work, using the geometric square as a constant module. The work maintains mathematical precision and rationality, rejecting emotional expression in favor of a logical creative process.
