The exhibition This Is What I See From the Back Window at Sunset presents a selection of works by OMARA Mara Oláh (1945–2020), an artist best known for her expressive paintings featuring striking textual elements and a wide range of media. OMARA began creating art at the age of forty three following the death of her mother and the onset of her own health problems. Although she lacked formal training, she produced authentic and highly original works that stand as powerful testimonies to life, identity, and social relationships from the perspective of a Roma woman living in the second half of the twentieth century.
Today, she is considered one of the most significant and widely exhibited Roma women artists on the international art scene, with her works included in the collections of numerous renowned institutions.
The dramaturgy of the exhibition introduces viewers to multiple layers of OMARA’s life and practice. Paintings and a short film by Hungarian director Ábel Santa from 2024…
