PRIVATBANK EXHIBITIONS

2021–Present · Lviv, Ukraine
Series of Solo Exhibitions

The history of my exhibitions at PrivatBank Premium Banking in Lviv began in autumn 2021 with the solo exhibition Colors of Autumn. Since then, this collaboration has developed into an ongoing exhibition project in which I regularly present new works, individual series, and thematic selections bringing together works from different periods of my artistic practice.

What makes this space particularly important to me is its difference from a traditional gallery. Here, artworks exist within a real, everyday environment — in dialogue with architecture, interior design, natural light, and the daily presence and movement of people. A painting is no longer an isolated gallery object; it becomes part of the surrounding space and enters into a direct relationship with the viewer.

This context allows me to experiment with exhibition formats, scale, and the interaction between works of different character and periods. Some exhibitions introduce new works or focus on a particular series, while others bring together works from different cycles around a shared theme. In this way, each new exhibition becomes not a repetition of the previous one, but a new interpretation of my artistic practice.

Between 2021 and 2025, six solo exhibition projects were presented in this space — from Colors of Autumn and Reflections to Aftertomorrow and GENESIS. Together, they form a visual chronology of changes within my painting, while documenting the emergence of new themes, images, and approaches to form.

For me, this long-term collaboration offers an important opportunity to present art beyond the conventional gallery setting — in a place where it becomes part of a real environment and the viewer’s everyday experience.
