An extraordinary art event took place in the picturesque Hungarian countryside in the late summer of 2021. The one-off exhibition entitled “Szabadon Nő” (Freewoman or Growing Free) by painter Anna Pakosz connected the artist’s work to the deeply peaceful setting of Hi-Hekate meditation center in Káptalantóti.
Guided by the aesthetic cues of David Hockney, Honor Sharrer and Edward Hopper, Pakosz explores the female experience through an eccentric lens. Her paintings act as a stage for a myriad of impressions, feelings and sensations that she has observed or experienced.
“For me, femininity is about beauty, softness, and recklessness,” the artist says of the subject of her work. “I feel that there is something unexpressed about these qualities that I want to explore and show through my work. In “Szabadon nő” I pose questions on what it means to live freely as a woman and leave the audience to find their own answers. My dream was to create a tangible artistic experience for people”
