In the exhibition “Sanctuaries”, the artist Dimitar Solakov talks about a possible future of the world. No white caps of glaciers, no vast frozen land, no nature, a world where global warming has finally happened. The earth is no longer habitable, so the human species sets off to new planets in search of refuge.
The series of paintings called Exodus is dedicated to exactly this dark scenario. The planet Earth, seen from space, and around it, like little white bubbles, are departing capsules with fugitives looking for a new planet. The story, told not without a sense of humor, actually paints an optimistic version of the future. After all, even when the end has come, people are still there, looking for new opportunities.
