The exhibition title "Traces" refers to the title of the poetic  debut Erna Rosenstein in 1972 and the titles of her poems and paintings. The  artist often repeated this word in different ways, sometimes replacing it with other words which also could refer people, moments and places that were only in memory. Erna Rosenstein used often an expression "to kept something under closed lids," it referred sometimes just to memory, sometimes to the imagination, but first of all referred to her own and others' work. She painted what could be stored under the eyelids and valued what was left under the eyelids. When she felt the need to paint, the images were coming from under the eyelids. In this way, she defined the criteria for the value of her own work, but also other artists. It is important in art, whether it accompanies us and whether we can be with it and whether it can be kept in our memory. To keep under the eyelids means to see in a special way so as to keep the memory of loved ones. Traces are paintings, drawings, poems, it is the work of an artist who is around us and whom we recall and re-find. There are images that were lost somewhere, were dispersed and there are those that have changed because of the passage of time, something fell apart, something has been damaged. Some images have been changed by the frames in which they were put. It all blurs traces, changes them. But everyone who accompanied the work of Erna Rosenstein, also have changed, today they look at her work differently, more carefully and consistently they look at its "traces". The most unchanged are those kept under the eyelids.
