More about this artwork

Cyprián Majerník's evocative painting *Refugees* captures the somber realities of displacement and despair faced by countless individuals during the turmoil of the early 1940s. This thought-provoking artwork presents a group of refugees, their figures etched with weariness and a haunting resignation. The artist employs a muted palette dominated by browns and grays, mirroring the emotional and physical desolation of the subjects.This painting portrays two central figures, one appearing to console a child, while another sits withdrawn into herself, embodying the deep psychological impact of their plight. The surrounding environment, painted with undefined boundaries and merging colors, contributes to the overall feeling of instability and impermanence. The strategic use of lighting and shadow not only enhances the emotional depth of the scene but also focuses the viewer’s attention on the human aspect of this historical and ongoing global issue.Majerník's *Refugees* serves both as a powerful historical document and an enduring reminder of the human cost of conflict and forced migration.
