Places That Found Me.. Vol.2
BY IRENA BALABAN CAKIRPALOGLU
These works were inspired by unexpected encounters, fleeting moments, everyday walks, and small situations that might otherwise pass unnoticed. In those moments arose the question of home.. of places that seem to “find” us, where we feel calm, safe, and naturally at ease, as if we belong there.
Each place carries its own rhythm and unique atmosphere. It speaks to us in its own way. These spontaneous encounters form the foundation of Irena’s paintings.
Each work bears a personal imprint of a moment and a place. Rather than depicting reality, the artist captures impressions, light, and mood. Through color and composition, she draws attention to details that often escape our eyes and gives them new meaning.
Her paintings become small pauses in time.They are gentle reminders that even seemingly ordinary moments can hold deep visual and emotional resonance, awakening a quiet sense of: “I belong here.”

"THE RETURN"
MICHAELA SKUHRAVÁ
The exhibition "The Return" is a celebration of how art can reflect an individual's personal journey and at the same time have a universal effect, reaching and resonating with wide spectrum of viewers
This small sample of paintings created during a period of global isolation, when the world was forced to slow down and people witnessed an unexpected stop from the normal life, Michaela found in silence and peace a space for reflection and introspection. She transformed these moments of loss, closure and reflection into powerful visual expressions that hide a rich palette of emotions from sadness to renewal. In doing so, she created a series of works that invite us to stop and appreciate the simple life and profound beauty that surrounds us.

P O R T A
Blanka Bártová
"Go. Breathe. Tread. Stones under feet. Sky overhead. The moisture-glazed rock with its untouched rough walls of color awakens something subconscious, unconscious and feared.Close and embracing at the same time. Porta.To experience something real today, we have to step outside of our comfort zone. We have to go through the Porta otherwise we stay at our laptops filling static time. We're going. We enter through today's geometrically created port. Out. (what gives us peace?) Similarly, when we look at Blanka Bártová's paintings, we hardly notice the area of the picture frame. We are looking into a space where the geometry is cancelled. There is a painterly gesture with color formed in compositions that surpass the baroque dynamics. There is a shape formed by an emanation of colors. It has the power of faith in bad weather days. Stopping figures, beings, connected to the environment. The process of the color game based on the bow strokes on the string is captured here. Precise and magical in its scope. Few people can play flagolets in the painting. Few people move us by seeing into a state of lived experience."

THE CONNECTIONS
Martina Venglorzová
"Never ending possibilities to create different combinations of colours, shadows, shapes, brush strokes and bring to the painting emotions and stories that everyone reads differently is like to dream a beautiful dream ..."
