Artist: Natalia Vyprytskaia (Poland, Gdańsk)
The painting “Observer” was created in 2023 in Gdańsk, Poland, in the personal studio of Natalia Vyprytska. Executed in acrylic using the impasto technique and a palette knife, the artwork reveals a textured, sculptural surface where each layer of paint interacts with light, creating depth and introspective tension.
This piece is a reflection on self-awareness and inner observation, inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy and his concept of the Übermensch — the “superhuman.” The artist explores the idea of separating one’s essence from the ego, learning to observe oneself from a distance — to notice thoughts, emotions, and reactions without judgment.
The abstract silhouette symbolizes the personal superhuman — the inner observer who perceives reality as it truly is. It embodies a state of awareness: calm, impartial, and deeply conscious. The contrast between the dark mass of the figure and the colorful geometric fragments of the face reflects the inner dialogue between consciousness and personality, between seeing and being.
Natalia Vyprytska believes that every person carries such an observer within, though often hidden beneath layers of habit, attachment, and false identity. The painting “Observer” serves as a reminder that in every home, a personal superhuman — the conscious observer — can dwell.
