Many of works constitute short philosophical treatises. Works correspond with many art works (e.g. The Raft of the Medusa, Execution by firing squad, Adam's Death, Nike of Samothrace, Mozart's Requiem, Mona Lisa), with Slav mythology (Kupala Night), with Christian religion (Adam and Eve, Cain and his wife, resurrection of Jesus), as well as with historical events (takeover of a tank-traps by the insurgents on August 13, 1944, extermination of Jews in Jedwabne).
