Tapestries are created during an extremely lengthy process, spanning the conception of the idea, the realisation of the intellectual content and the making of the work. It is a genre that necessitates preparation, as the creative act follows a precisely calculated professional plan. Each work requires a complex, coloured and full-scale design. The gobelins of the Kossuth Prize-winning tapestry artist Rózsa Polgár convey the artist's message with the help of her incredible professionalism and knowledge through which she communicates her emotional and visual universe. With each step, and through the way she presents her pieces, she evokes and strengthens the spiritual context of her artworks in the observer. The tapestries are conceived with the classic method of utilising five warp threads, which requires the utmost level of precision and skill, and where the weaver has to work with five separate threads within a single centimetre. This dense work method provides many opportunities to incorporate unique intellectual and technical ideas. The deployment of different yarns, the conscious mixing of colours, the creation of complex colour effects and graphic elements, furthermore the evocation of textures demonstrate the artist's unique skills and knowledge. Throughout the design process, Polgár's tapestries adhere to the consistent rules of their own world, revealing, however, exciting possibilities and points of "freedom", openness and boldness within the genre. They also tell us stories about the inseparable connection between the communicated spiritual message and the ancient technique of weaving as a means of realisation. Márta Simonffy
