Revealing by Maija Vitola-Zitmane at the A-Galerii Vault

Artist list

Maija Vitola

How often do we truly cherish those fleeting moments when everything is at peace? As time passes, page by page, we move forward without knowing what lies ahead or what the future holds for us.

This exhibition serves as the artist’s heartfelt confession, delving into the soul through symbolic imagery and raw emotion. At the same time, it leaves space for the viewer’s personal interpretations, recognizing that certain universal feelings connect us all: pain, sadness, joy, and, above all, love. Particularly love, the very first feeling we encounter at the start of life, is presented as the guiding force that shapes and sustains us. It forms the foundation for our understanding of life itself.
