Dedicated to the prominent German collector Andreas Selle, this work interprets the ancient myth of Leda and the Swan. Kmieliauskas moves away from traditional decorativeness, lending the subject a monumental, existential form. The sculptural female body and the expressive wings of the swan, framed in a contrasting play of light and shadow, create a dramatic unity. The piece showcases the artist's refined technolitic print technique, where deep relief and unique color layering transform each print into a one-of-a-kind work of art.
