Ohla is part of the “Read Between the Dots” series which explores the boundary between the visible and the tactile, between reading and perception. Each canvas consists of collages of Asian papers, worked with acrylic and marker pen, on which appear a multitude of small dots inspired by Braille, the language of the visually impaired.

These dots are not merely decorative patterns: they tell the intimate story of the person depicted, a coded narrative that only fingers can truly read. The artwork thus becomes a bridge between sight and touch, an invitation to “read” the painting differently, to feel its texture, its relief, its physical presence.

Through this dialogue between text and image, between what can be seen and what can only be guessed, “Read Between the Dots” questions the way we perceive the world.

In “Gosia,” Alexandre de Poplavsky presents a powerful portrait that blends fragility and strength through the symbolism of kintsugi. The model’s face and body are composed of delicate porcelain patterns, fractured and reassembled with radiant gold. Her steady gaze and composed hands convey resilience and serenity.

The layered composition, combining collage, gold leaf, and detailed drawing, invites the viewer to reflect on identity, femininity, and self-reconstruction. Gosia becomes a contemporary icon of dignity and transformation, where every crack is a chapter of strength.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If a bowl is broken, rather than discarding the pieces, the fragments are put back together with gold leaf and turned into a uniquely beautiful piece. This philosophy is reflected in this series of paintings.

"There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."
