Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a vast landscape with rolling hills and a cloudy, atmospheric sky. The composition is dominated by the prominent text, "To be one is always to be a number", which is etched across the clouds in a striking manner. The overall style blends realism and surrealism, with the natural scenery contrasted by the intrusive, thought-provoking text. The artist's intention appears to comment on the individual's role within a larger societal context, exploring themes of identity, anonymity, and the human condition. Through this striking visual metaphor, the artwork invites the viewer to ponder the relationship between the self and the collective. ...

Maria Loboda
B.1979

Maria Loboda, born in 1979 in Krakow, Poland, composes installations and sculptures to investigate cultural codes, represented by pictorial signs and the grammar of various materials and objects. Throughout her work, Loboda engages with the historical narratives attributed to certain objects and juxtaposes them with contemporary interpretations and modern references in order to address the transformation of meaning of objects and images, tracing their paths from conveyance to encounter. Her research stems from the fields of poetry and history and leads to a formal equation of language and materiality, whose interactions she examines and uses in order to question what they express beyond their common readings. Thus, through the deconstruction and reorganization of common forms and symbols, Loboda has become a unique voice in what is described as contemporary archaeology. As a kind of re-enacting of semiotics, Loboda’s works are subversive as well as critical towards power structures. ...
