Hong Kong through the eyes of the artist 👀
Luca Sára Rózsa visited HK for the first time back in March, joined by her husband and daughter. They loved the energy of the city, especially the most dense and vibrant parts of Kowloon. Here are some incredible photos taken by them during their trip.

“When painting my pictures, I strive for a kind of iconicity, a time and space freeze, something that suggests permanence.” — Luca Sára Rózsa
Today is the last day of the exhibition 😢

For this exhibition, @luca_sara_rozsa presents a new series where she experiments with extending the limitations of painting through ceramic objects and embroidery in the form of installations. The symbolism within these works speaks about attachments, separation, and the closeness and distances of human bodies — and how this relation becomes universally related to the transcendent.
The artist, from the beginning of her career, focused on Western philosophical and religious heritages, the deep analysis of beliefs about the origins of human psychology and behavior. Her works present humankind partly as beings of animal origin, and recall motifs of stereotypical representations of religious beliefs. Thus, she could integrate Greek and biblical traditions about the descriptions of the birth of humankind and the patterns of human relations, like love, loneliness or interdependency.

Maria Kulikovska at the Malta Biennale 2026 (@maltabiennale.art )
Bringing together sculpture, textile, and sound, Kulikovska’s thematic pavilion 𝘉𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 transforms the space into a site of artistic and emotional resistance, where vulnerability becomes an instrument of healing.
During the opening days, the artist performed a series of acts to mend the broken sculptures. This performative healing is the culmination of the pavilion’s message: that which is broken and repaired can become stronger than that which was never harmed.
Currently on view until May 29, 2026.
“I placed my figures in a utopian, dreamlike landscape of solitude, where they are forced to face their own anxieties stemming from the eternity of the world and the insurmountable contradiction of their own finality.” — @luca_sara_rozsa

The landscapes and the nearly naked figures recall an ideal state and existence which is either before or after the conflicts, the contradictions of civilization, the overdominated technological development, pollution, or the devastation of wars.

The humans in Luca Sára Rózsa’s works seem to be still or in between an animal and evolutionary development; their bodies recalling the anatomy and movements of zoological beings. Even so, their movements, bodily gestures, and eye contact show interactions, which are the keys to understanding the symbolism of her images.
“Last Trip to the Amazon” by @luca_sara_rozsa is currently on view until May 9
Hong Kong through the eyes of the artist 👀
“The memories of Hong Kong come back to me in shades of blue, silver, and white — a beautiful interplay of lines. Some were drawn by nature, in the curves of hills, clouds, and water; others by the city itself, its buildings, skyline, and architecture. For me, the essence of the city is found in this meeting of two different landscapes.” — Natalia Załuska
This was Natalia’s first time in Hong Kong. Thanks again for everything @natalia.zaluska ❤️
For our first year at Art Basel Hong Kong, we wanted to do something ambitious. Biggest thank you to our hardworking team who barely had time to eat during installation because they not only had to install artworks, but also multiple layers on the booth walls as well as an entire floor 💪
