Emma Sofia ''Pretending not to see. Moving on.''

The artist believes that emotions should always be revealed. Despite emotional state - whether you're lost, trying to hide, confused, feelings need to be expressed in order to understand your actions and rationally judge your behavior. In this series of works, the author shares the way she copes with the current social topic pressure - through painting. The artist's mission is to perpetuate his needs, necessities, cravings, feelings, and messages day-to-day, which eventually will mark the future as a milestone in a series of events.

In Emma's words: ''If you are not seeking respite, the respite must come to you. In recent years, I've found it through landscapes. They are reminiscent of disappearance, nowhere, emptiness and fulfillment when you are able to break away from the everyday. The exacerbations of the perception of life are being reflected in pictorial and peaceful abstractions of geometric areas, soft-colored horizons, emptiness and continuous flow of gentle strokes of paint. ''
