Artist Reception for Daniela Kovacic
April 26 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Opening Reception for Daniela Kovacic’s Exhibit: “Seeing and Being Seen” at T. Mari Gallery, April 26th, 5-9p
Artist Daniela Kovacic is a realist oil painter whose work captures the nuanced relationships between visibility, identity, and care. Her series, “Seeing and Being Seen,” is an exploration of human connection, centering on children and individuals with disabilities, along with the caretakers who support them.
Through meticulous detail and masterful use of light, Kovacic elevates moments of everyday life, revealing the unseen emotional and psychological landscapes of her subjects. Each painting invites the viewer to consider the complexities of how we see and how we are seen—both by others and by ourselves.
By portraying individuals who are often marginalized or overlooked in mainstream narratives, Kovacic challenges societal perceptions of independence, vulnerability, and dignity. Her work encourages a dialogue on the quiet, yet powerful, acts of care and resilience that shape human relationships. The series serves as both an artistic meditation on empathy and a call for greater awareness of the lived experiences of those she depicts.
“Seeing and Being Seen” is on exhibit: APRIL 26 – JUNE 1ST
Hosted at: T. Mari Gallery, 1023 N Western Ave., Chicago, IL 60622
