Selected exhibitions and artistic participation:
May 24, 2023 — CCCC (Centro del Carmen de Cultura Contemporánea), Valencia
Participation in an event dedicated to the theme of war and Pablo Picasso’s painting Guernica (1937). Eighty-six years after its creation, the symbolism of this work remains relevant, reflecting the pain and destruction caused by war. In our time, the theme of war resonates especially strongly, and the tragedy of the past directly echoes contemporary reality.
As part of the event, the artist presented an original interpretation of Guernica. For her, this work is not only a reminder of suffering and devastation but also proof that art can speak across decades, uniting different generations and countries through shared experience.
December 10, 2024 — Solo exhibition "Armonía del caos", Alejandra Istorik Gallery, historic center of Valencia
January 16, 2025 — Solo exhibition "Armonía del caos", Valencia Airport Exhibition Center (by invitation of airport management)
May 6, 2025 — Solo exhibition "Armonía del caos", Port Gallery, historic center of Barcelona
Previously, she also participated in exhibitions of Ukrainian artists in Madrid.
