A similar motif appears, among others, on the poster for the Miss Polonia contest (with the Royal Castle in Warsaw) and on the artist's work "The City That Never Sleeps" with New York skyscrapers. The author of the work is Rafal Olbinski (born 1943), considered one of the most outstanding Polish contemporary painters and graphic artists. His metaphorical and poetic paintings have won him worldwide recognition. In exile since 1981, he has been a lecturer at the School of Fine Arts in New York since 1985.
