Piotr Stachiewicz occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Piotr Stachiewicz builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 5.2%, #EAEADE carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 74 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Piotr Stachiewicz's complete body of work advances.
