The exhibition unfolds as an ethereal space dominated by translucent blue figures and vibrant flowers, illustrating how the innate attraction to light fuels continuous renewal for both plants and human souls.
“In my paintings, I convey feelings and emotions, drawing inspiration from flowers, nature, beauty, and female strength. My works reflect my vision of the world, which I express by experimenting with shapes and colors. To create compelling compositions, it's essential to delve deep into my emotions, detail them, and explore impressions from external influences. Sometimes, I feel like everything in the world has already been invented, and I'm simply playing with colors and forms,” says Diana Ruban.
