  • Water as a Symbolic and Existential Medium in Contemporary Art

    Open Access•Anna Maria Wierzbicka, Marta Nawrocka•ARTICLE•Arts•2026

    The article examines water as a symbolic and existential medium in contemporary art. Water, present in culture since the earliest times, constitutes both a fundamental condition of life and one of the most enduring archetypes of human imagination. The analysis is conducted from two theoretical perspectives: phenomenological, focusing on the embodied experience, and symbolic, presenting the cultural and spiritual meanings attributed to water, as w…

Jesus’ wo…

    Open Access•Anna Maria Wierzbicka, Maria Arno•ARTICLE•Muzeológia a kultúrne dedičstvo•2022

    Sacral objects are an important part of Europe’s religious heritage. For centuries, temples have constituted a key element in the urban morphology; they fit into the urban fabric of European cities and are permanently embedded there. Due to the current laicization of Europe, the adaptation of sacred buildings into secular functions has become a necessity for economic reasons. Their owners, architects, conservators and historians are faced with a …
