The title is, of course, an allusion to two film works ("Metropolis", 1927 and "Vertigo", 1958). The author's intention was to convey the atmosphere of a night wandering, or rather a drive through the streets of a multi-million city. The texture of the painting is varied; large areas with a delicate, glaze character adjoin the areas covered with thicker layers of paint and with specific geometric lines. The colors are intense. Very high value contrasts; from luminous white to deep black. Acrylic on a solid linen canvas. The picture does not require a frame; side edges are painted over. It is ready to hang.

Bohdan Wincenty Łoboda, a contemporary Polish artist, pursued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Furthering his education, he completed postgraduate studies in Puppet Theater Directing at the State Higher School of Theater in Warsaw, focusing on the Department of Puppet Theater Directing in Białystok.
Łoboda's artistic journey encompasses designing scenery for children's performances at various State Puppet Theaters, including those in Gdańsk, Poznań, Lublin, Będzin, Bielsko, and Radom. His recent paintings feature fairy-tale characters and situations drawn from theatrical productions for which he created the scenery.
With a background spanning many years in graphic art, particularly color woodcut, Łoboda's works often center around the theme of a female portrait. Through a juxtaposition of two faces representing distinct personalities, his art captures a dialogue or conflict using economical graphic techniques.
For Łoboda, painting is akin to creating a theatrical scene. As he brings his characters to life on canvas, they engage in their own existence, peering into each other's worlds from the other side of the mirror or the painted surface.
