In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Cēsis Museum and the beginning of the Latvian Cultural Capital 2025 year, the exhibition “Consolation” by Polish artist Laura Makabresku will open on February 6, 2025, at 16:00 PM at the Cēsis Museum.
Laura Makabresku is a laureate of several prestigious art photography competitions. Her works have been exhibited in Venice, the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, Poland, and other locations, as well as published in numerous international art magazines.
“What is consolation for me? It is closeness, listening to silence, the gift of beauty and hope, a prayer for someone I may not even know, yet I deeply believe that one day we will meet. This consolation would not exist if I had not first received it from God’s hands,” says the artist. In creating her works, she draws inspiration from silence, Orthodox icons, and magical realism literature. Through her art, viewers can experience the deeply personal yet universally significant revelation of earthly existence.
The exhibition invites visitors on a spiritual journey, where the interplay of physical sensations and the influence of a transcendent, omnipotent force can be experienced. The spiritual dimension unfolds as a fragile yet powerful space beyond boundaries, filled with silence, peace, and trust.
The exhibition will be on view until March 31.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Ogre Museum of History and Art.
Supported by the Cēsis Municipality and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Latvia.
