Leżeć means to lie down.
Not to collapse. Not to perform rest. Just to lie there.
I painted this in 2023, during a period when I was still navigating burnout. I kept hoping the heaviness would pass faster than it did. The figure reflects that state. Not defeated, but not moving forward either.
Her body is relaxed but slightly detached from the space around her. The patterned background holds structure, while she feels softer, almost drifting.
And yet, I could not leave it in grey. Fluorescent touches found their way into the skin and the surroundings. A quiet insistence on light.
The mix of acrylic, watercolour and crayon gives the surface a layered, almost fragile quality. It feels intimate. Personal.
This piece is not about drama. It is about endurance. About allowing yourself to pause without disappearing.
