The exhibition represents the intimate storytelling through the medium
of painting. The author combines two contradictory visual experiences:
impersonal product of the industrial society and ethereal dreamy landscape.
Fragments of day-to-day reality are absorbed by the void environment full
of mist, steam and delicate ornamental raster. Depicted objects are emerging
from (or sinking into) empty spaces of the canvas. The combination of lace,
representation of femininity and tenderness with the abandoned cold object
creates an interesting contrast.... Its interconnection produces intense
atmosphere of something anticipated, sinister but tranquil at the same time.
