HOME FEELING
Ever since I have known Lucia I have had a "home feeling" with her. We have lived some very beautiful experiences together, experiences that confirm this feeling, and now Lucia has invited me to accompany her in her endeavor to show us silently, but sincerely, naturally and assumed what she feels and expresses through art about one of the most beautiful human feelings, the HOME FEELING.
There are things that over time we perceive and feel more and more nuanced. These include the secure relationship with Home and all that it contains or is around it. You suddenly realize that that House and that Garden are no longer just a house or just a garden in which you live by chance, out of comfort or for the sake of beauty, but that house and garden, namely yours, belong to you, just as the snail belongs to the shell in which it lives. You have created this shelter for yourself, as Human, and in this shelter your story is contained. You are completely surrounded by this HOME and perhaps even death cannot free it from you and all the joys and sorrows you have experienced within it.
With the passage of time and the experiences of life, you realize that this concrete HOME, which contains you both physically and emotionally, is unwittingly expanding its known area and becoming, unnoticed, an almost metaphysical shelter for your soul, far beyond the physical limits of existence. You begin to feel that home is not just something tangible, home becomes everyone and everything that gives you a deep sense of well-being, of love and the feeling of being surrounded by endless beauty.
We can feel at HOME anywhere, but obviously the first home is the one that is most deeply imprinted in your heart and soul. That warm and nurturing home that you later feel more and more abstractly somehow, but which you will miss for the rest of your life, the HOME FEELING growing stronger and stronger and becoming an inner force that constantly caresses your soul.
Every lucky person in life has a unique and priceless HOME of their own, a HOME that over time becomes like a precious amulet that you carry with you wherever you are.
In her new exhibition Lucia Lobonț shows us candidly and serenely, a part of what is dear to her in life and sends each of us into the personal depths of the HOME FEELING which, although different from Lucia's, communicate to us through her letters, her Christmas tree, figurines, mirrors, magic cubes, the same disturbingly natural harmony of this all-embracing feeling.
Lucia invites us, on the threshold of Christmas, to enter her fragile, delicate, touching, serene, naturally beautiful and moving Home, where you can step as if into a fairytale and leave serene, with comforted hearts.
