Beauty as an act of resistance

Have you ever felt the power of an image that, beneath its golden glints, conceals a cry for freedom? The work of Anya Katarina Sokolova-Gassner comes to us from Carinthia with a rare intensity. Firstly, her aesthetic evokes the splendour of Klimt and Symbolism. Yet make no mistake: every brushstroke is an act of emancipation.

Indeed, beneath the poetry of form, the artist explores female solidarity in the face of the violence of our century. Her canvases become sanctuaries where resistance is expressed through beauty.
