From May 31 to September 30, 2023

The artist's exhibition "Generations" refers to the main theme of the Granatowe Góry Festival and is a collection of paintings about traditions, customs, heritage, and inheritance... That is, about what we do, how we experience and live, how we have fun and work, what we learn and what we do not over the centuries. It is a march or parade of generations with their joys and small flaws.

The artist about herself:

I practice journalistic painting, drawing inspiration from what surrounds me. I summarize and name the reality around me = people, events, landscapes, customs, flaws, gestures, using various mixed techniques. I paint from gesture and contrast colors to capture movement and the fleeting moment. I try to use this possibility of painting that allows conveying something that is unnameable.
