Dinner 

Iwo Zaniewski created “Dinner” to explore ideas around domesticity and personal reflection. The painting situates the viewer in an intimate space, suggesting both presence and distance. There’s an intersection between public and private in this piece. The checkerboard floor leads to a figure preparing food, possibly dinner. It raises questions about gender roles within the domestic space. Who is cooking, and who is waiting? What does it mean to wait for someone, and what are the emotional dynamics within such a space? Zaniewski captures a quiet tension of expectation and isolation. The use of muted tones evokes nostalgia, a longing for simpler times, or a reflection on the past. The painting doesn’t offer answers, but rather invites contemplation on the everyday rituals that shape our lives.
