Our international exposition caught the attention of the regional newspaper. About my work it said: ‘Impressive and mysterious is a large work of Lia Kok in the hallway of the exhibition space…These works are worth a visit and those of Kok are intriguing and sometimes even very beautiful. Presented in a differently structured context they would present themselves even more meaningful.
