This ongoing series of paintings delves into themes reminiscent of German Romanticism, particularly the spiritual and philosophical dimensions explored by painters like Caspar David Friedrich. These works, deeply contemplative in nature, are intended to offer the viewer a space for reflection and a unique engagement with beauty.

Renata’s paintings serve as offerings—and exercises—in the appreciation of landscapes often overlooked: a secluded corner of an urban garden enclosed by metal bars, the poignant poetry of a tall tree towering over a neglected dump, or the quiet decay of a modernist house, evoking questions about its once-prosperous past. These are landscapes of fragmented memory, fleeting and unreliable, shaped by the transient impressions of contemporary life.

The recent use of oval and irregular formats underscores this ephemerality, lending physical form to the intangible nature of memory. Many of the works are inspired by screenshots from social media, further emphasizing the fleeting and mediated nature of modern visual experiences.

In these urban landscapes, narratives are static, often devoid of human presence. In some works, elements of the domestic and urban realm are isolated, becoming the sole focus of the composition. For example, silhouetted houseplants rendered in stark white transform into symbols, their simplicity resonating with meaning.

Ranging from large, immersive installations to smaller, intimate pieces, the series invites viewers to find stillness in its fragmented beauty—a meditation on time, place, and the delicate interplay between permanence and transience.
