A young modern woman holding a pot with an enormous plant, a monstera, is depicted in a mural by Mateusz Gapski. Working under the pseudonym Bezt, Gapski is a member of the world-renowned street art collective Etam Cru. The artist was inspired by motifs—floral ornaments and a worried-looking woman’s mask—on the 1905 Art Nouveau townhouse on the side of which he created his work. The mural was created in 2017 as part of the “oBBraz miasta #4” project in collaboration with Fundacja Galerii Bielskiej (Bielsko Gallery Foundation) and Galeria Bielska BWA, co-funded by the Bielsko-Biała Municipality. Leroy Merlin Polska Sp. z o.o. is the main partner and sponsor.

Mateusz Gapski graduated from the Faculty of Painting and Graphic Arts at the Władysław Strzemiński Fine Arts Academy in Łódź. In 1999 and 2000 he began creating graffiti. The artist likes to show real objects and people in unexpected situations, thus inviting the viewer into the world of his imagination where meaning and sense are never precisely defined. Bezt has painted many murals both in Poland and abroad.
