Karina Plachetka

The poetry behind art can be described as the deep, often unspoken emotional and intellectual essence that resonates within artworks, elevating them beyond their mere material or visual appearance. It is the ability to convey feelings, ideas, and experiences in a way that goes beyond literal meaning and speaks to the viewer on a deeper level.
