Among the recurring motifs are eyes, once again gazing directly at the viewer, and the artist’s characteristic, deformed human figures. Recognisable forms are simplified and transformed, acquiring an ambiguous and charged character. Intense colours are set alongside almost monochromatic canvases, in which colour appears only as a subtle accent. In this restraint and deformation, echoes of fear, trauma and a world that has lost its sense of familiarity can be found.

Importantly, Wrzal does not depict war directly. Its presence is felt instead in the emotions, the tension and the way in which the depicted human being confronts a reality touched by violence. Empty spaces and planes, overlapping like an “image within an image”, contribute to the composition and tension of the canvas, once again leaving the boundary between the recognisable and the abstract, the imagined, fluid and undefined.
