der schmerzhaftesten Abschnitte meiner Kindheit einf\u00e4ngt: den Moment, in dem meine Eltern mich zur\u00fccklie\u00dfen, um als Gastarbeiter nach Deutschland zu gehen. Ich war noch sehr klein, als sie diese Entscheidung trafen \u2013 eine Entscheidung, die f\u00fcr sie sicherlich von gro\u00dfer Bedeutung war, doch f\u00fcr mich, ein Kind, v\u00f6llig unverst\u00e4ndlich blieb. In diesem Gem\u00e4lde habe ich versucht, die Verwirrung, die Einsamkeit und die Sehnsucht, die mich damals begleiteten, in Farben und Formen zu \u00fcbersetzen.<\/p><p>Mit Acryl auf Papier habe ich eine Szene geschaffen, die meine kleine Gestalt inmitten einer \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigenden Umgebung zeigt. Die intensiven Gr\u00fcnt\u00f6ne des Hintergrunds, die an eine dichte, undurchdringliche Welt erinnern, spiegeln das Gef\u00fchl der Isolation wieder, das ich empfand, als ich bei meiner Oma und meinem Opa zur\u00fcckblieb. Meine Eltern, dargestellt in kr\u00e4ftigem Rot und Blau, wenden sich ab \u2013 eine Bewegung, die ihre Abreise symbolisiert, aber auch die emotionale Distanz, die zwischen uns wuchs. Ihre Besuche waren selten, mein Vater kam sogar nur alle paar Jahre. Jedes Wiedersehen war von Freude erf\u00fcllt, doch es folgte stets der unvermeidliche Abschied, der die gleichen Gef\u00fchle von Verlust und Verlassenheit in mir ausl\u00f6ste, wieder und wieder.<\/p><p>Die expressiven Pinselstriche und die rohe Energie dieses Werks spiegeln die inneren Konflikte wider, die mich in dieser Zeit begleiteten: die Frage nach dem Warum, das Unverst\u00e4ndnis und die tiefe Sehnsucht nach N\u00e4he und Antworten. Warum mussten sie gehen? Was war so wichtig, dass sie mich zur\u00fccklie\u00dfen? Diese Fragen blieben unbeantwortet und hallten in mir nach, w\u00e4hrend ich bei meinen Gro\u00dfeltern aufwuchs, die mir zwar Liebe und Geborgenheit schenkten, aber die Leere, die meine Eltern hinterlie\u00dfen, nicht f\u00fcllen konnten.<\/p><p>\u201eVerlassen\" ist jedoch nicht nur meine Geschichte \u2013 es ist eine Geschichte, die viele ber\u00fchren kann. Viele von uns haben Momente des Abschieds erlebt, Momente, in denen wir uns allein gelassen f\u00fchlten, ohne die Gr\u00fcnde daf\u00fcr wirklich zu verstehen. Dieses Gem\u00e4lde l\u00e4dt dich ein, dich mit deinen eigenen Erfahrungen auseinanderzusetzen und die universelle Sprache der Emotionen zu sp\u00fcren. Es ist ein Aufruf, die Wunden der Vergangenheit anzuerkennen, aber auch die St\u00e4rke zu feiern, die aus solchen Herausforderungen erw\u00e4chst. In meiner Ausstellung m\u00f6chte ich dich mitnehmen auf diese Reise durch meine Geschichte \u2013 eine Reise, die von Verlust, aber auch von Heilung und Selbstfindung erz\u00e4hlt.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-tabs-horizontal-content\" id=\"qodef-tab-5c4821f\">\n\t<p><strong>\"Abandoned\"<\/strong><br \/>2024<br \/>40 x 51 cm<br \/>Acrylic on paper<\/p><p><em>\"Abandoned\"<\/em> is a deeply personal work capturing one of the most painful chapters of my childhood: the moment my parents left me behind to work as guest laborers in Germany. I was very young when they made that decision\u2014a decision that surely carried great meaning for them, but one I couldn\u2019t understand as a child. In this painting, I tried to translate the confusion, loneliness, and longing that surrounded me at the time into color and form.<\/p><p>With acrylic on paper, I created a scene that shows my small figure surrounded by an overwhelming environment. The intense greens of the background evoke a dense, impenetrable world\u2014a visual metaphor for the isolation I felt when I was left in the care of my grandparents. My parents, painted in vivid red and blue, are shown turning away\u2014a gesture that symbolizes not only their physical departure but also the emotional distance that gradually grew between us. Their visits were rare; my father came only every few years. Each reunion was filled with joy, but it was always followed by the inevitable goodbye, reviving the same feelings of loss and abandonment over and over again.<\/p><p>The expressive brushstrokes and raw energy of this work reflect the inner turmoil I experienced during that time: the unanswered questions, the longing for closeness, and the aching need for explanation. Why did they have to leave? What was so important that they chose to go without me? These questions echoed silently within me as I grew up with my grandparents, who gave me love and safety but could never fill the void my parents had left behind.<\/p><p>Still, <em>\"Abandoned\"<\/em> is not just my story\u2014it is a story that may resonate with many. Most of us have faced moments of parting, moments when we felt left behind without fully understanding why. This painting invites you to confront your own experiences and feel the universal language of emotion. It is a call to acknowledge the wounds of the past, but also to celebrate the strength that can emerge from such challenges.<\/p><p>In this exhibition, I want to take you on a journey through my story\u2014a journey marked by loss, but also by healing and self-discovery.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-837288a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"837288a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-434d744 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_button\" data-id=\"434d744\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-button qodef-html--link qodef-layout--filled qodef-type--standard qodef-icon--right qodef-hover--icon-move-horizontal-short\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nissis-kunstkantine.de\/kontakt\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-m-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon-inner\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-shopping-cart\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M528.12 301.319l47.273-208C578.806 78.301 567.391 64 551.99 64H159.208l-9.166-44.81C147.758 8.021 137.93 0 126.529 0H24C10.745 0 0 10.745 0 24v16c0 13.255 10.745 24 24 24h69.883l70.248 343.435C147.325 417.1 136 435.222 136 456c0 30.928 25.072 56 56 56s56-25.072 56-56c0-15.674-6.447-29.835-16.824-40h209.647C430.447 426.165 424 440.326 424 456c0 30.928 25.072 56 56 56s56-25.072 56-56c0-22.172-12.888-41.332-31.579-50.405l5.517-24.276c3.413-15.018-8.002-29.319-23.403-29.319H218.117l-6.545-32h293.145c11.206 0 20.92-7.754 23.403-18.681z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c46e7c9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c46e7c9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46e8c78 e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"46e8c78\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fad0123 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_button\" data-id=\"fad0123\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-button qodef-html--link qodef-layout--filled qodef-type--standard qodef-icon--right qodef-hover--icon-move-horizontal-short\" href=\"https:\/\/darkopavic.art\/?page_id=2867\" target=\"_self\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-m-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon-inner\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-alt-circle-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 504C119 504 8 393 8 256S119 8 256 8s248 111 248 248-111 248-248 248zm116-292H256v-70.9c0-10.7-13-16.1-20.5-8.5L121.2 247.5c-4.7 4.7-4.7 12.2 0 16.9l114.3 114.9c7.6 7.6 20.5 2.2 20.5-8.5V300h116c6.6 0 12-5.4 12-12v-64c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c55c012 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_button\" data-id=\"c55c012\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-button qodef-html--link qodef-layout--filled qodef-type--standard qodef-icon--right qodef-hover--icon-move-horizontal-short\" href=\"https:\/\/darkopavic.art\/?page_id=2910\" target=\"_self\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-m-text\"><\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-m-icon-inner\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-alt-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8c137 0 248 111 248 248S393 504 256 504 8 393 8 256 119 8 256 8zM140 300h116v70.9c0 10.7 13 16.1 20.5 8.5l114.3-114.9c4.7-4.7 4.7-12.2 0-16.9l-114.3-115c-7.6-7.6-20.5-2.2-20.5 8.5V212H140c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12v64c0 6.6 5.4 12 12 12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deutsch English \u201eVerlassen\u201c202440 x 51cmAcryl auf Papier \u201eVerlassen&#8221;
