The exhibition presents a recent cycle of around thirty works created over the past four years. It is a rounded and highly personal creative period in which the author skillfully combines the contemporary moment with the spirit of the mid-20th century – through music, fashion and visual expression. Her long-standing love of comics is clearly evident in the characteristic comic design, the liveliness of the compositions and strong graphics.
The cycle is characterized by softness, fluidity and playfulness, but behind their apparent lightness lies a strong message about a self-aware woman. Through mild provocation and humor, the author questions gender roles, relations between the sexes and the position of women in society. The gaze that her protagonists direct at the observer is bold, calm and unwavering – a symbol of a woman who knows her own strength and does not accept the limitations imposed by the expectations of her environment
