In Flower 1, Jędrzej Bieńko presents a quiet meditation on perception and transformation. The diptych links two images—a flower above, an eye below—through a single stem that extends downward, merging sight and growth into one continuous gesture. The purple-blue bloom and the dark iris seem to emanate from the same atmosphere, dissolving at their edges into a shadowed ground.
Executed with Bieńko’s signature airbrushed subtlety on raw canvas, the work embodies a state of permeability: between vision and matter, the organic and the sentient, interior and exterior. The eye appears to nurture the flower even as it receives it, suggesting an exchange between looking and blooming, consciousness and creation. Through this intimate duality, Flower 1 contemplates the fragile circuitry of life—the ways in which all forms, seen and unseen, remain bound in a shared pulse of becoming.
