RELICS 2025

From May 24 to June 26, 2025, Padure Manor will host Relic, a solo exhibition by Laura Buholte, in which the still life genre is transformed into an intimate and symbolic exploration. The objects in her paintings are not mere things – they are vessels of memory, imbuing seemingly ordinary items with profound personal significance.

The exhibition invites us to reflect on our own attachments: why do we hold on so tightly to objects that carry no material value? Where, then, do we place the weight of the meanings they embody?

Relic becomes a meditation on presence and memory, asking whether the things that surround us are simply objects, or whether they are stories—worthy of being preserved, painted, and told.
