No. 5 (After Midnight)
This beautiful one-of-a-kind original is a study of modern desire—an icon rendered as a quiet monument. Against a black field, the bottle becomes both object and symbol: glass, shadow, and a soft internal glow that feels almost cinematic. The composition is deliberately minimal, giving the form the authority of sculpture and the intimacy of a private moment.
Painted in oil with meticulous attention to reflections, edges, and atmosphere, this work transforms a familiar silhouette into a collectible image of elegance and power. It speaks to the language of luxury, but ultimately lives as pure painting—timeless, still, and undeniably present.

Pietatis is a museum-grade figurative work built on classical structure and spiritual gravity. The composition carries Renaissance-level discipline—anatomy, gesture, and controlled chiaroscuro—yet remains unmistakably contemporary through its clarity and emotional stillness. The painting's power is quiet, but absolute: a sense of devotion, sacrifice, and permanence held in the body and the light. This is a collector's work meant to anchor a space, not decorate it—timeless in subject, masterful in execution, and placed through private acquisition to preserve value integrity.
In Fervo is a monumental figurative statement—charged with tension, movement, and internal force. The work demonstrates the artist's mastery of form at scale, where anatomy, rhythm, and atmosphere are built with precision and authority. Light and shadow act as architecture, shaping the figure with sculptural weight and cinematic depth. This painting belongs in the top tier of Rut's classical practice: a serious collector acquisition, studio-held, and offered through controlled private placement.
Leda and the Swan is a timeless myth rendered with modern refinement—both sensual and sculptural. An old-master narrative treated with exceptional technical control, the figure is modeled with anatomical precision and soft, luminous transitions, while the overall composition holds a classical calm that feels museum-ready. It's myth not as illustration, but as enduring human symbolism—beauty, power, vulnerability, and transformation.
This is a high-level studio original, offered through private acquisition for collectors seeking museum-grade figurative work with lasting cultural relevance.

Watercolor Originals
In this suite, Tomasz Rut fuses museum-level drawing discipline with cultural symbols and luxury emblems—creating works that feel at once timeless and sharply modern. Each piece is an original watercolor on paper, executed with precision, restraint, and a quiet sense of satire.
A classical figure reclines against one of the world's most recognized symbols—where mythology meets modern appetite. The bold red field turns the brand into a stage, and the body into sculpture. A piece about desire, spectacle, and the timelessness of human longing.
A figure in motion interrupts luxury branding like a living relic stepping out of history. The orange field functions like a contemporary banner—while the anatomy and gesture keep the work anchored in tradition. Elegance, speed, and satire, held in perfect tension.
A classical face floats beneath bold editorial typography—fashion as mythology, mythology as fashion. The butterfly adds a quiet note of transformation, making the piece feel both luxurious and strangely intimate. One of the most refined and "gallery-ready" statements in the series.

Taped Banana (“A real painting about the absurdity of what we call ‘art’.”)
A fully painted answer to an art-world punchline—where the joke becomes an actual work of skill, composition, and permanence. This piece turns spectacle into satire, and asks a serious question with a straight face: what do we reward, and why? It’s witty, iconic, and unmistakably Tomasz Rut.
