The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the commonalities between the movies and paintings by Wilhelm Sasnal, one of the greatest painters of the young generation in Poland. The analysis uses terms coined by Gilles Deleuze in his book Cinema. 1. Picture-movement. 2. Picture-time. Deleuze perceived cinema as a method of exploring the world and as the only possibility to communicate with it. This allowed him to build categories such as picture-movement, picture-perception, picture-action, picture-emotion, all of which can be found in Wilhelm Sasnal's movies. The second part of the paper analyses human consciousness. Understanding the nature of time and duration allows to explore Deleuze's philosophy and the way he interpreted movies. Problem of understanding the universe and the human being in the context of Deleuze's philosophy contributes to the interpretation of Wilhelm Sasnal's art.
