The exhibition “Intuitive Metaphors” by Kristīna Elettra Rubīne will be opened on Saturday, May 16, at 17:00 in the 1st-floor open lounge “Pietura” of the Liepāja Concert Hall “Great Amber.” The artist’s works reveal art as a process in which inner experience—intuition, memory, and bodily perception—is transformed into material form.

The exhibition offers the viewer a chance to step into a space where visual language evolves as an ecosystem of thought and emotion. In these works, metaphor is not merely the symbolic meaning of an image but a material action. Fibrous paper, felt, soy wax, embroidery, dried plants, and other natural elements become conceptual narratives embodying ideas of time, fragility, and transformation.

The artist merges traditional painting principles with experimental techniques—stippled drawing structures, textile interventions, woven plant stems, and other materials—creating a multi-layered visual and tactile space.

The material introduces the cyclical nature of the environment, the potential for biodegradation, and natural impermanence into the works, inviting reflection on the mutual influence between humans and nature at a time when ecological consciousness is becoming an essential dimension of contemporary art. The works offer an experience of art as a living organism and a chance to pause in this moment of transformation—a place where thoughts become visible and material becomes the language of intuition.

The exhibition combines paintings, collages, and drawings from various stages of the creative process, revealing the evolution of the artist's thinking. Many drawings are being shown to the public for the first time, allowing a glimpse into the origins of the works—the intuitive impulses that later materialize into spatial structures and compositions.
