Exhibition
To Observe or to Be Observed
The room is black. Light arrives at a set time for each work, holds for a moment, and leaves. While you wait in the dark, are you watching, or being watched?
Words from the artist
"To Observe or to Be Observed explores the delicate relationship between seeing and being seen. Through six figurative paintings, I invite you into a space where darkness, light, presence, and perception become part of the work itself.
As the paintings emerge from darkness, you move between moments of intimacy and confrontation, observation and exposure. I don't want to impose an emotional narrative — I want to create a space to feel, to question, to experience the subtle shift that happens when looking becomes an encounter.
Darkness is not merely the absence of light; it is an essential part of the artistic language — shaping what is visible, what remains hidden, and how each encounter unfolds."
— Loli Ferrari
