László Mátyássy, Looking Into the Sky, Bronze with Stone Base

Our world bombards us with ever-increasing environmental stimuli. Over the past century, European civilization has demanded a fast-paced lifestyle, quick reactions, and adaptability, while new communication tools raise the stimulus threshold to grab our attention. Our visual landscape leans towards a vibrant, dynamic, massive, interactive virtual reality. Art competes for our attention with increasing intensity—loud, discordant, colorful, provocative, shocking, and sensational themes abound. Yet amidst this cacophony, we risk losing sensitivity to silence, deep observation, and appreciation for subtle details. It's harder to recognize and cherish visual messages that whisper to sensitive, noble souls. The sculptures of László Mátyássy embody a quiet, meaningful, meditative tranquility. His work underscores the need for inner silence as essential as daily sustenance.
