Exhibition: Bled forever in my heart

©Zsófia Gyükér

In November, the STOLP Gallery will host an exhibition by Hungarian artist Zsófia Gyükér, featuring a selection of works inspired by animals, nature, Bled, and local cuisine. The central theme of the exhibition is animals, which the artist portrays with particular affection and admiration.

Her love for animals has been with her since childhood. The exhibition features both domestic and wild animals, particularly those found in our local environment. An important part of the exhibition is also dedicated to Bled. The artist is fascinated by Slovenian architecture, especially churches and castles, and was particularly inspired by the way these buildings blend with the natural surroundings of Bled. This connection inspired her works depicting Bled and its distinctive features. Local food, one of her favourite subjects, also finds its place among the exhibited works.

The colourful artworks were created using a mixed technique of pastels and watercolour pencils, while the black-and-white pieces were drawn with graphite pencils. The exhibition offers a personal perspective on the animal world and the distinctive characteristics of Bled, seen through the artist's creative and deeply emotional lens.
