Description of artwork
The painting depicts a person wearing a full suit of metal armor. He is seated, leaning back, resting against a vertical wall. This person – a knight in armor – is wounded. There is an opening in the visor area of his helmet, and from this opening the feathered end of an arrow protrudes outward, pointing forward and slightly upward. The background — the wall the knight is leaning against — is rendered with blurred vertical brushstrokes in shades of gray, brown, blue, and green

Text by the artist
The figure of a knight in armor, leaning against a wall, pierced by an arrow. This key element becomes visible only when viewed up close, but from distance it slips out of sight. This visual detail metaphorically reflects the way we perceive others: we tend to judge on the surface, overlooking inner wounds and vulnerabilities.
The wall, despite its nature as a solid structure, is depicted as fluid and blurred. It symbolizes our beliefs – the things we lean on, yet which remain unstable and shifting. The contrast between the hardness of the armor and the fluidity of the support emphasizes the fragility of personal boundaries and the illusory nature of external protection
