Sprouts of Formless Darkness

26 04 2024 - 24 05 2024 

The exhibition  feature the artist’s latest works created in 2023-2024. The author’s works are primarily distinguished by their non-traditional painting technique, using tar, soil, cosmetic masks, lime or clay. This time, the artist chooses motifs of flowers planted by herself, which are associated with beauty and fragility. Although it would seem that the flowers contrast with the technique that uses tar, mainly black color, the artist herself claims that in her works flowers become characters symbolizing not only nature, but also man-made, industrial motifs. The blackness of the works reflects the environment, the worlds of the author and the viewer.
