This exhibition focuses on periods of serene contemplation in nature, fostering opportunities for the senses and the heart to expand and encounter moments of awe.
Mika Hadar is a London-based photographer, painter, and poet, integrating the objective lens of photography with the expressive strokes of a painter's brush. Her work is defined by its poetic, serene, and contemplative essence. She views her art as 'Visual Poetry', where each medium- photography, painting, and poetry—expresses her inner landscape. She explores the intimate connection between the observer and the observed through her lens. In painting, Mika responds to the view with her inner feelings and sensations, often blending brush and lens by painting over printed photographs, thereby recreating them with a subjective perspective. Her ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience that surpasses the visible realm, inviting others to share moments of wonder and introspection.
Mika's approach to photography and painting transcends mere documentation; it seeks to encapsulate the inherent mystery and longing in every moment.
