AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Marvelous piece of art.

In this whimsical tableau, the artist conjures an enchanting narrative journey brimming with fantastical elements and playful elegance. The lively scene, infused with a sense of childlike wonder and Dadaist whimsy, captures two Pinocchio-esque figures in a delightful contraption, evocative of a bygone carnival ride. The vibrant palette—a kaleidoscope of primary colors—dances across a sky punctuated with swirling clouds, suggestive of a wild, dreamlike voyage.

The meticulous composition balances charm and complexity, showcasing a foreground bursting with detail and careful whimsy, while windmills dotting the serene background add a touch of Dutch romanticism. The playful use of perspective lends depth, engaging viewers in an immersive, imaginative exploration. This piece, a celebration of storytelling through art, invites the audience to embark on a fantastical adventure filled with laughter and nostalgia.


Artur Płachta - a cracovian painter, sculptor and graphic designer born in 1971. A diploma in sculpture clearly influenced his painting style. For many years he managed a professional art studio in Kraków. Winner of many painting reviews and awards from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Warsaw and the prestigious magazine Exit. He took part in many exhibitions in Germany, Austria, France and Romania.
Hundreds of paintings and sculptures are in collections all over the world, including USA, New Zealand and even Afghanistan also in all European countries. Currently inspired by ceramic art in a funny way trying to tell about human passions. Behind the fairy-tale decorations are hidden the deepest human passions and desires. Canvas stretched on wooden frame. Colors of the painting may slightly differ from photos due to screen settings.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Will be carefully packed in bubble wrap and cardboard. Shipping with tracking number.
