Says Herczeg of this exhibition, “The unknown within my work exists in the things I cannot fully explain. There are experiences that resist language. Dreams, feelings, encounters, and moments of recognition that remain difficult to communicate to others. Painting allows me to sit with those experiences without needing to resolve them.

“My paintings are not figurative, abstract, or portraiture in any fixed sense. They operate somewhere between these categories. They are not illustrations of memories or beliefs – they are evidence. Proof to myself that what I experience emotionally, spiritually, and intuitively is real, tangible, and alive.
“Bird Watching Me emerges from this period of change. The exhibition is shaped by memory, dreaming, and becoming. Through dreams I am guided by my ancestors. The works emerge from encounters where memory and the present become entangled.”
