obrazowej

Obrazowej is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective obrazowy, meaning related to images or pictures, or figurative in nature. The term is used to describe language, descriptions, or styles that rely on visual imagery or image-based representation.

In linguistic and literary contexts, obrazowy denotes imagery-based expression. Phrases such as język obrazowy (visual imagery language) refer to wording that evokes vivid pictures in the reader’s mind. Obrazowa metafora or metafora obrazowa describes a metaphor rooted in a concrete image, while opis obrazowy signals a pictorial description that aims to create strong mental images.

In art, media, and communication, the concept of imagery is central to visual rhetoric and storytelling. Obrazowa narration or narracja obrazowa emphasizes pictures, scenes, or visual sequences as a primary mode of conveying meaning, rather than purely verbal communication. The term also appears in discussions of graphic design, photography, and film, where image-driven forms of expression are contrasted with textual or auditory formats.

Etymology traces obrazowej to the noun obraz (image, picture) plus the adjectival suffix -owy, yielding a form that agrees with feminine nouns such as forma obrazowa or narracja obrazowa.

Distinct from related terms, obrazowy typically refers to visual or figurative qualities, while synonyms like wizualny or graficzny emphasize different nuances of image or presentation. The feminine form obrazowej is used when describing a feminine noun in Polish grammar.
