The painting 'Ob. DCVI' from 1990 by Stefan Gierowski is an abstract composition divided horizontally into two parts: the upper part is a uniform brown field, and the lower part presents a dynamic, rainbow gradient of colors – from blue, green, through yellow, orange, to red. Vertical stripes of colors subtly blend and vibrate, creating a contrast between calm and energy, evoking a sense of spatial illusion and dynamism.
