Exhibition “Between Worlds” will be on view until April

Spaces are at the center of Marina Sailer’s work.
“I paint spaces: old interior spaces permeated by time, whose high ceilings, stucco, crystal chandeliers and quiet dignity tell of what was once possible. These spaces are not nostalgic stage sets – they are fragile witnesses to an architectural culture that is becoming increasingly rare,” the artist emphasizes.
Today, these spaces are being demolished, replaced by soulless, cheaply constructed new buildings. At the same time, greenery in cities is diminishing – trees, gardens, living environments disappear in the shadow of concrete.
“My painting resists this development. It brings together what has been separated: the depth of centuries-old architecture and the quiet power of nature,” says Sailer.

The artist masters every register of striking illusionistic painting. In her pictures, viewers can experience how a romantic artistic concept can be combined with modernity.
“In my art, I seek a new connection – between humans and nature, between inner and outer worlds, between what we have built and what has built us,” explains Marina Sailer.

In decaying palaces, in front of sparkling chandeliers, reflective glass and lush tendril patterns, fish, butterflies, or even fairy-like beings float past as if in dreams. The magical, mysterious images unfold a kind of pull that viewers are gladly drawn into.

“My art is political. It does not accuse – it shows what we are losing. It is a tribute to what has endured and yet is disappearing. And it is an attempt to let back in what we have suppressed – beauty, silence, nature, light,” Sailer emphasizes.
