Enjoy with love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs an artist and connoisseur, standing among these works, I feel it my duty to emphasize the core value that pulsates in every brushstroke of Ruth Schmidt: and that is freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that the freedom of art is not merely an aesthetic issue, but the final bulwark of human dignity and autonomy. In an age that loves to confine thinking within frameworks, Ruth Schmidt dares to be free. She dares to go against trends, dares to be spiritual in materialism, and dares to build an individual mythology in the noise of mass culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the freedom of art is the mirror image of human freedom. Only a free spirit is capable of creating symbols and interpreting them; only a free person is capable of standing before the canvas and confronting their own depths.\u201c \u2013 With these words, among others, curator B\u00e9la Balog opened my solo exhibition \u201cSYMBOL HELSINKI\u201d at the Liszt Institute in Helsinki. It was a touching experience to hear how he sees me and my art. I wouldn't have been able to put it this way myself...
