ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
The portfolio of presented abstract paintings is representative of Gaya’s art philosophy. The common theme of her creation is artist’s abstractive reflection on, and interpretation of, the natural world and phenomena. It also covers socio-philosophical reflections on our lives as fragmented as wholesome they are. For that very reason, the paintings include natural environments and objects, single elements of natural phenomena and geographical ambiance, panoramic view, and wildlife. The works, however, does not only convey Gaya’s admiration with nature. They also embrace the realities of life and surrounding world through the lens of our aspirations. Aspirations towards freedom and socially absurdist perceptions of human interrelations with nature and emotional strength and resurgence.
