An Immersive Installation by Masha Schmidt & Anna Sokolova
Artists present a collaborative installation and exhibition, each examining landscape through distinct yet complementary perspectives. Through transparencies and layered compositions, they construct a shared visual terrain that invites viewers into a deeply sensory experience. Anna Sokolova distills landscape to its essential forms and gestures, while Masha Schmidt contemplates the ever-shifting sky.
Their artistic convergence creates a singular journey — at once vibrant and introspective — through the medium of paint. This joint endeavor offers a fresh contemplation of landscape, where individual vision merges into thoughtful exchange.

Gallery
Just outside Paris, the quiet village of Auvers-sur-Oise has long been a refuge for artists seeking light, beauty, and inspiration.
Daubigny's home, now a charming museum, still tells the story of this vibrant artistic era—with rooms frozen in time and walls covered in works by Daubigny, his friends, and even Honoré Daumier.
