"When we close our eyes, our soul embarks on a journey. It flies towards new lands and dimensions, while we open our minds to the energy of the universe. With closed eyes, we don't judge; we listen, trust, dream, create, and fly fearlessly. It's a moment of vulnerability, where we're not under the control of the physical world but the spiritual realm. It's a moment of trust and harmony, without borders or limitations, representing our freedom. Closed eyes are like our first kiss, a space for our dreams and thoughts to flourish."
The Hyde Gallery is pleased to present Behind Closed Eyes, a solo exhibition by Estonian artist Anna Oborotova.
The exhibition will be on view from 22 April to 1 May 2023.
Anna’s work is known for its dreamy and symbolic nature. Her paintings evoke a sense of mystery and contemplation, inviting viewers to explore the hidden depths of the human psyche.
The works on display in Behind Closed Eyes reflect this thematic focus, with each piece offering a unique glimpse into the artist's inner world.
Through her use of colour, texture, and composition, Anna creates a visual language that is both personal and universal. Her paintings are often imbued with a sense of nostalgia, as if capturing fleeting memories or long-forgotten dreams. At the same time, they are grounded in the present moment, capturing the emotional landscape of our contemporary world.
Behind Closed Eyes promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking exhibition, offering viewers a chance to explore the complexities of the human experience. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the work of one of Estonia's most exciting emerging artists.
