Sasnal in a painter of the present day, his works often differ so much from each other that one could suppose they had been painted by numerous artists. However all of them share a common deep sensibility of the author which reflects both political, moral and aesthetic aspects of reality. In his works, Sasnal extends different feelings, emotions and events which he has experienced. He lets these moments linger, to gives us an opportunity to focus on details, have a closer look at a car accident or a movie fragment he has seen on the TV.

Wilhelm Sasnal is an artist who consistently manifests an unusual sensitivity to the reality that surrounds us. His works are exquisite comments to the imagery we face in the artistic and political realms. His paintings seem to ask a key question about the emotions that are elicited by images (in the realms of photography, film and painting) in our private and public lives. The artist's subjects have included spools of magnetic tape, wall sockets, supermarket and travel office leaflets, the covers of well-known record albums, photographs from geographical albums, a vacation postcard, and a painting by Jerzy Nowosielski. Sasnal's painting of a computer diskette is Poland's "black square on a white field" of the 1990s.

Wilhelm Sasnal's green lady is marbled perfection: a towering sculptural goddess executed as an anonymous product of design. Cropped, chin jutting out: her once symbolic mysticism now holds only graphic optimism, a pleasant hallmark of simplified form and bright colours. Wilhelm Sasnal repackages ideology for an indiscriminate consumer culture. Painting becomes a ritual of purification through aesthetics, which can sell even the most frightening of concepts.Sasnal uses the paint itself to expose the paradoxical qualities of image interpretation. In Arms Raised, he subverts the documentary ‘truth' of photography. Rendered in negative, his image of a champion becomes a hostage and heroicism is shrouded in a demonic aura. Sasnal exposes cultural triumph as conspiracy, inherently underscored with apocalyptic sensations of revulsion and fear.
