Michal Macku‘s Gellages are a series of fragile and tormented portraits that make us squirm in our seats. There is an uneasy appeal to Macku’s work. There is no springtime, just barren winter. The emotions present in Macku’s pieces pull at you with unyielding strength, forcing you to commit them to memory.

Quiet Lunch is a grassroot online publication that seeks to promote various aspects of life and culture with a loving, but brute, educational tinge. When we say, “Creative Sustenance Daily,” we mean it.
