Gabriella Hajnal: Flowing Realities

January 22 – February 27, 2026

Curator: Lilla Boros

"One of the main tasks of art is to report on its own era – beyond general and eternal human, artistic, and genre truths," said Gabriella Hajnal. Her art is indeed not only an imprint of these timeless truths, but also a manifestation of her unique vision and her search for the fullness of reality. Her works uniformly reflect all the realities she has experienced and which have touched her: beauty and human frailty, the richness of nature, the delicate systems of organic relationships – in short, the wonder that springs from life. As she herself writes: “Art cannot exist without wonder.” For her, noticing miracles was natural: she walked through the world with her eyes open, experiencing the everyday life burdened by 20th-century history, while at the same time marveling at the pulsating streets of Tokyo or the sprawling grandeur of the Australian landscape.
