Maria Motorina’s work “Clear sky” is an expression of her longing for freedom. The strong blue sky and the pure white cloud towers become the symbol of this desire. In the restriction to these essential elements and the verticality of its format, which actually runs against the expanse of the sky, Motorina directs the perspective concretely upwards. She concentrates her desire in a thrust towards redemption from the shackles of this earthly war. She aims towards a peaceful time when the sky and its splendour can fully unfold its transcending power in contemplative moments.
