Standa’s position within the international art scene should be regarded as essential. He represents the survival of modernism’s experimental drive, infused with the subjectivity of an émigré who has lived across geographies and cultures. In this sense, his career recalls that of great visionaries such as Paul Klee or Antoni Tàpies, figures who made abstraction into a form of ethical reflection. His paintings matter because they remind us that to create is also to care, to imagine is also to heal, and to look is also to remember.
