The new cycle of works by Marija Volkmer presents an intriguing interplay of thought and creative expression, a weaving of abstraction, vivid chromatic accents, and figuration. The artist combines diverse elements, shaping a distinctive synthesis of dimensions and techniques. With acrylic paints, stencils, and thread, she crafts a visual narrative that conjures an illusion of expansiveness and depth. Her compositions are imbued with rhythm, akin to the harmony of abstract landscapes, where she discovers concord in suggestive tonalities. The pictorial space is profoundly intuitive; layers overlap and breathe, while materials generate both tactility and visual interlacing. This duality of elements does not clash with form, on the contrary, it sustains it, rendering it alive and playful.
