“One of the main tasks of art is to report on its own era – beyond general and eternal human, artistic, and genre truths,” says Gabriella Hajnal. Her art is indeed not only an imprint of these timeless truths, but also a manifestation of her unique vision and her search for the fullness of reality. Her works uniformly reflect all the realities she has experienced and which have touched her: beauty and human frailty, the richness of nature, the delicate systems of organic relationships – in short, the wonder that springs from life.
The works presented in the exhibition provide insight into Gabriella Hajnal’s artistic and personal realities. Visitors can see a slice of the rich intellectual and creative world through which the artist conveys her experiences of the world. This is a condensed imprint of a life’s work that has taken shape over decades: a glimpse into how she saw and articulated the whole of existence. The works simultaneously convey the rawness of everyday life, the bitterness of social injustices, and the subtle irony of humor and the fleeting, fragile wonder of beauty.
