On View: July 19 – August 16, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 19, 6–8 PM
The World We Share, is a collaboration by two sister artists. The inspiration for their art comes from many shared experiences; a love of nature, people, and art. They venture out into nature by bike or on foot, visiting galleries, enjoying the arts and meeting diverse communities of artists and art lovers. Their paintings capture and embody the beauty of the nature they experience as well as the people they meet, admire, and love.
In the exhibition “The World We Share” each artist will present a collection of paintings that depict nature and portraits. As Marzena says:” The world is full of diverse communities with beautiful, extraordinary people looking for love, lust, acceptance, and fulfillment. The collection of portraits is an attempt to capture these people in a moment, with their colorful personalities, physical characteristics, and the depth of their emotions”.
The collection of paintings dedicated to nature captures lakes, rivers, streams, mountains, flowers, and lots of forest, which Marzena is mesmerized by. The paintings show the beauty of nature from a slightly different vantage point, with an element of surprise. Bright and bold colors force the viewers’ attention. It is meant to create awareness about the necessity to preserve the environment that we all share and depend on.
The whole collection is all about positive feelings. It is happy art created with bright happy colors and positive emotions. It is meant to ignite these positive emotions in the audience.
