This evocative watercolour by Jerzy T. Mróz features his characteristic blend of abstraction and atmosphere. The composition presents a dramatic, almost sculptural central form—layered, textured, and wrapped in dynamic strokes of ochre, rust, and deep shadows. The warm, mist-like background enhances the sense of mystery, giving the piece an otherworldly, almost ritualistic presence.
Mróz’s expressive brushwork and rich tonal contrasts create a compelling visual narrative, leaving interpretation open to the viewer while maintaining a strong emotional impact. Signed by the artist on the front and accompanied by a handwritten dedication on the reverse, this piece holds both artistic and personal significance.
 
A striking addition for collectors of expressive European watercolours or admirers of atmospheric, symbolic art.
 
The artwork itself is clean and well-preserved, with no fading, tears, stains, or surface damage visible. The colours remain rich and vibrant, retaining the atmospheric warmth and depth characteristic of Mróz’s work.
The paper lies flat with only very minor age toning at the edges, consistent with a piece of this age. The signature in the lower right corner is crisp and clear.
 
The painting is presented in its original wooden frame, which shows light wear, including small scuffs and patina, adding a sense of age but not affecting the artwork. The mount has some slight discolouration from age, though this is purely cosmetic and could be replaced easily if desired.
The reverse includes the artist’s handwritten dedication, date, and signature, all in strong, legible condition.
Overall, the piece is structurally sound, well-maintained, and ready to display.
