Briefly about the painting:

In the composition of the picture, mysteriously called “Unusual Thursday”, the artist plays with opposites. She shows the contrast between the perfectly straight bridge with the rails stretching beyond the horizon, and a set of different objects or props in disarray piling up in the foreground of the painting. The attitude of the author himself to the one depicted objects is probably expressed by the color solutions. The bridge and its fences are completely monochrome and faceless, while flashes of bright color spots enliven the mixing of objects, similar to a dump.
