The Space Gallery shows a 15 year period of Kiss Márta’s art.
The title of the exhibition refers to a painting made in 2008 with a hint of irony.
The previous large sized old painting is a full body self-portrait: during the time I paint I splash some paint on the canvas which is already decorated with abstract elements.
The name of the painting is ‘Finally I paint some big abstract’.
I gave that name for the painting to make a contrast against the chiseled, perspective-based paintings because like this I could paint a large size abstract painting.
Since the beginning my art was based on tradition, perspective and technique. On the other hand I was always trying to find the opportunities to renew my current art.
Some years ago I started to be interested in embroidery. It gave me many new ways to express myself, it’s a new tool which showed me things which I can not see with my own eyes. Like this the perspective based figurative art got added with a new dimension.
You can see the first embroidered paintings at the gallery and you can follow a journey about my new experiences.

Márta Kiss began her career as a painting restorer, but after she started painting her own pictures, she chose the path of creativity. For nearly two decades, her painting was defined by a mindset based on traditional oil techniques and visuality, while her pictures were also colored by magical and symbolic elements.
