Artist Spotlight: Emanuela Lekić

A series of night scenes by artist Emanuela Lekić. Lekić is a young painter who grew up on Krk Island in Croatia. Her focus lies in capturing the enigmatic motif of night and the essence of our environments using domestic objects from our everyday lives.

“By altering these familiar elements, I question the attitudes, fears, and unwritten rules that have shaped our surroundings and influenced our behavior within them. Drawing inspiration from film, I use strong shadows and lighting to evoke a sense of mystery and contemplation. Often incorporating symbolic elements and historical references, I invite viewers to reassess their connection to the world around them and embrace the night as a catalyst for introspection.”
