Artists Abra and Rina Riga first met while creating a shared magical world at the Municipal Art Center.
We invite you to a space filled with symbols and archetypes deeply rooted in the collective consciousness. Here, mythology and the battle against dark forces become another step toward life. The exhibition space, filled with newly created signs and symbols, acts as a guide for observers in discovering their inner strength.
The centerpiece of the collaboration between the two artists is the shared canvas Emelen, created in the gallery space during the installation process.
