An artist used to perceive the world as a composition of genuine objects, creatures and beings, full of occurrences unfolding in front of his eyes, or the ones he foresees. An artist no longer sees a world in which a man spends his limited time on Earth, and projects his elevated aspirations, as well as basic instincts. A world today, both in art and sciences, whether natural or social, is reduced to a level where the classical means for its portrayal become insufficient. Now one can see a rise of conceptual art or the art that dissects the elements of the painting.
Still, in front of the artist who is possessed by strong sentiment exists another path, offering a search for impression, for color of emotion, for the inner shape of desire, a truth and a suggestion of expression. This is a trail that this exhibition chooses and reveals through its paintings. It presents a strongly defined palette, clear transitions and co-relation between colors, de-formation and new forms that lead a dialog with both the rest of the composition and the observer. All these elements are here to help the artist express her inner, deep, disquieting nature.
What happened to a man or whats wrong with his world remains unanswered. Still, delicately, but convincingly at the same time, the artist projects her overpowering distress on canvas. Even the paintings where the artist tranquilizes the original trauma just enough to allude to bit of progress, something like a hope or possibility of good feeling, are nothing else but the artists attempt to hide deeply disturbed subject, and an effort not to disclose more than her intimate world allows her to. Still, this is the expression powerful enough to capture the eye and the spirit of the observer who enters the world of painting.
This is the exhibition of compelling approach to sensitivity that sinks into fear that world still exists, but that it is not enough. And that the painting still exists, but, is it enough?
