Inner Totem explores the idea of an internal structure — a symbolic figure that represents inner strength, protection, and balance. The image is built as a layered, symmetrical composition, where human, animal, and abstract forms merge into a single vertical axis.
Bright contrasting colors create a sense of energy and tension, while symmetry gives the work stability and focus. The totem-like figure can be read as a personal guardian, an inner guide, or a reflection of hidden psychological states.
This work comes from my graphic practice under the name Zmogk, closely connected to street art and iconic visual language. It is designed to be direct, powerful, and immediately readable, while still leaving space for personal interpretation.

Please note:
- Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.
- For buyers outside the EU, additional duties and fees may apply.

Using techniques such as painting around the edges of the canvas to reflect the hidden emotional layers that frame our conscious experience.
