BETWEEN THE SEASONS

An Exhibition at Kentmanni Gallery

The exhibition Between the Seasons explores the artist's state of transition, drawing inspiration from the changing of the seasons as a universal rhythm of nature—those moments when transformation does not occur abruptly but unfolds gradually, often without our conscious awareness. It is within these in-between moments that existential processes take shape, influencing both human identity and our relationship with the surrounding environment.

The artist seeks to reveal the connections between nature and humanity, offering viewers an opportunity to experience painting as a process of slowing down and reflection. Between the Seasons presents transition as a continuous and natural state, emphasizing that change is not only expressed through significant events but also through the subtle, almost imperceptible moments that exist between two meaningful states of being.

Guided by this perspective, the exhibition forms a cohesive whole that brings together observations of nature and the artist's personal experience, creating a space for contemplating the relationship between people and the environment.

ABOUT ARTIST

The exhibition reflects the artist's long-standing dedication to painting and a sustained interest in observing natural processes and their poetic significance. Over the past fifteen years, Nadežda has developed a creative practice rooted in painting as a process of inquiry, focusing on the expressive power of colour, light, and emotion to explore and communicate the relationship between people and their environment.

Her work extends beyond the representation of visible reality, seeking instead to convey an emotional and phenomenological experience that invites viewers to engage with the paintings on a deeper, more contemplative level.
