Beksiński used a specific oil paint in the color called Prussian blue which he used to symbolize death in his paintings, this shade of blue has a symbolic connection to world war 2, and the color Prussian blue was named after hydrogen cyanide which was a main component in zyclon B which was used within the gas chambers during the execution of Jews. A blue residue was left on the walls of the gas chambers similar to the Prussian blue oil paint that Beksiński used in his paintings.
