The Divine Hidden in Daily Life

Elif Kamisli will explore the role of art in unveiling the divine hidden in daily life, as highlighted in the collection exhibition presented at the Conservation Laboratory during the Convention. These paintings envelop the gaze of their creator; some depict intimate moments that create a space for self-reflection and contemplation, while others capture actions that express an organic flow of energy, celebrating the life force. In these works, the pursuit of spirituality intertwines with the simplicity of daily life, offering a new position on the connection between art and spirituality.
