Wojciech Kołacz, a.k.a. Otecki, is an illustrator, printmaker, painter, and mural artist working in Wrocław, Poland. Otecki finds influence in Cubism, non-Western art, and Slavonic folklore. He is fond of presenting dualistic worlds and characters—especially human-animal combinations that are “part majesty and part mystery,” as the artist puts it.

Figures abstracted into a patchwork of loosely geometric forms in shades bright orange, deep turquoise, soft blue, green, and cream fill the façade of a building. Most of the figures appear to be standing, but at center one figure kneels to reach toward a small flowering plant with delicate blue blossoms.
