Where goodness grows
Exhibition of paintings by Barbara Puto
"Where Goodness Grows"is an original painting exhibitionby Barbara Puto, where goodness is not an obvious value, but a process requiring decision, endurance, and acceptance. The exhibition guides the viewer through successive stages: from inner recognition, through doubt and trial, to the experience of light as a condition for growth. The paintings are arranged in a coherent narrative, where silence, light, and responsibility create a single path.

Who is the exhibition "Where Goodness Grows" for?
The exhibition is aimed at those seeking not only aesthetics in art but also meaning and contemplation. For viewers interested in the relationship between art and responsibility, decision-making, and the experience of good in the contemporary world.
About the exhibition
About the exhibition "Where Goodness Grows"
The exhibition addresses the theme of good as a conscious choice rather than a moral certainty. Light appears here not as a symbol of revelation, but as a condition that enables growth – though it does not guarantee it. An important element of the narrative is the sequence "Doubt", placed before the sign of the Cross, and part "Acceptance", in which good comes from the outside and is not always easy to accept.
Structure of the exhibition
The exhibition has been designed as a journey rather than a collection of individual works. The successive sequences lead from decision, through light and trial, to doubt, acceptance, and reflection. Such an arrangement allows for experiencing the exhibition over time, in accordance with its internal logic. The exhibition of 35 paintings is located on a 25-meter wall of the Krużganek Gallery.
Vernissage
An extraordinary meeting that touches the heart
The meeting was characterized by attentiveness and reflection. The exhibition was designed as a process – from silence and the moment of recognition, through doubt, to decision and consistent perseverance. The images do not create a collection of landscapes, but guide the viewer through successive stages of inner choice.
During the opening, I spoke about goodness as a decision – not a mood or declaration, but a conscious choice that requires structure, courage, and responsibility. The vernissage became a space for conversation about the choices we make and whether we can stick to them despite difficult conditions.
The event was attended by invited guests and individuals connected with the world of culture, media, and public life. A particularly significant moment was the presentation of a painting to Fr. Wojciech Drozdowicz in gratitude for showing how genuine engagement can create goodness.
I thank everyone present for the conversations, focus, and shared reflection.
