Markowski is a merciless commentator (or perhaps just an observer) of human nature, which is why he reduces the figure of man to the shape of an animal hybrid, driven by aggression, greed, covetousness and jealousy. In this way, the artist wanted to express the contrast between man as a producer of highly developed civilization and man as a biological being, driven solely by drives. The figures in Markowski's paintings, though far from the workshop of the Flemings, have something of Bruegel or Bosch: they are beast-stalkers, devouring with their satanic maw everything they encounter along the way.
