Description from the seller

PROTOCOL 77 – EXPLORATION 1.2
Artist: Marcin Pawlik
"Protocol 77" – A Manifesto of Survival in Tomorrow's World

Presented here is an extraordinary work of art, a testament to the unique visual language of Marcin Pawlik. It is more than just a painting; it is a narrative dense with meaning, in which the artist engages in a dialogue with post-apocalyptic aesthetics, futurism, and a profound nostalgia for lost innocence. This piece serves as a central point of the "Exploration" series, standing as a bold voice in the current of contemporary urban surrealism.

Craftsmanship and the Alchemy of Techniques:
This work is a triumph of Mixed Media, where tradition meets modernity. The piece is entirely hand-painted, and its creative process resembles an alchemical fusion of opposing elements:

Ink and Precision: Sharp, decisive ink lines define the edges of reality, lending the composition a nearly graphic, comic-book dynamism.

Watercolour Ephemerality: Soft color transitions and painterly "washes" introduce an element of dreamlike mystery, softening the harshness of the technical scenery.

Expressive Detail: The use of professional markers and the artist's own proprietary media allowed for a color depth that seems to vibrate under the influence of light.

The entire composition rests on a noble foundation—thick, textured Canson 300g Premium paper, whose structure complements the organic character of the work.

Symbolism and Narrative:
The central figure—an ethereal girl hidden behind the impenetrable visor of a cosmic helmet—is a liminal character. On one hand, the vibrant pink of her dress and the plush attribute of childhood; on the other, the weight of a technological armor and a backdrop strewn with the wreckage of civilization. The crashed rocket in the background is not merely a symbol of failure, but rather a starting point for a new, titled "exploration." The artist masterfully operates through contrast: saturated, almost neon yellows and oranges compete for attention against the chill of stardust and the grit of industrial debris.

Exclusivity and Framing:
This work is an absolute unique piece (Edition 1/1). It is an authentic, physical record of the artist's hand—a work that does not, and never will, have a duplicate. This makes it a secure and prestigious investment for any serious collector.

The artwork has been framed with the highest standards of presentation in mind:

Frame: An elegant wood-like frame that encloses the composition with its warm tones.

Protection: High-quality thin acrylic glass protects the delicate surface of the paper and water-based media from UV rays and dust, providing crystal clarity without the risk of breakage.
