Curatorial Statement:
In Picnic Day, ArNoUx captures a moment of stillness and quiet joy amid an explosion of color and abstraction. A solitary figure sits beside a serene lake, her form gently dissolving into the surrounding textures—echoing how memory and presence often blend in dreamlike states. The work is layered with movement and emotion: energetic dabs of yellow and red suggest blooming flora, while deep blue and mossy green create a grounding, almost spiritual atmosphere.

Though the composition evokes the innocence of a pastoral scene, the density and rawness of the brushstrokes speak to deeper undercurrents—perhaps solitude, remembrance, or an eternal moment suspended in paint.

Picnic Day is not just a depiction of nature—it is an inner landscape rendered with expressionist fire, inviting the viewer to sit in silence with it.
