“The table plays a central role in these works, being their focal point.
It is a symbol of the communal space, reactions and tensions that arise in families. Associated with meals and domestic warmth, it can at the same time be a vehicle for many other concepts.
Being a place of celebration, giving and conversation, it is also an object depicting expectation, loneliness, lack, misunderstanding and even oppression.
The relationship between the object and the human figure shows strong relationships and complexities.
I wanted to convey a moment of suspension, silence, detention and even emptiness….
The minimalist form of the paintings encourages the viewer to focus and observe.” – Michalina Garus
