Painting, like any art medium, requires the use of different artistic elements. What frames these elements into a whole is the space that is created by creating the illusion of depth and perspective in the human mind and is often used to create different effects for the observer, such as increasing or decreasing emotional intensity and enchanting a certain event. An open space can seem endless to us, while a closed space can seem endless to us, while a closed space can seem claustrophobic. In the context of reality, space is inevitable and marks our reality. Being interested in space and its influence, I decided to research the rural area, that is, my grandmother' s country estate. The scenes I painted resemble those I saw while passing through Slavonia. This work arose from my desire to challenge tradition and traditional concepts, but also from my love for the space where I spent a large parto of my life. It consists of three pictures that are conteptually and aresthetically interconnected and thus complement each other. I briefly mentioned the artist and their works that I considered important in the overall narrative of this thesis. Each of these artists built a different personal image of the village, and their works are proof that rural and village motifs are an inexhaustible source of inspiration by providing a variety of motifs for different generations of artists.
