The exhibition project brings together 23 works by nine contemporary artists, including three Russian artists: Dimitris Angelopoulos, Taisia Korotkova, Dodo Marzipano, Nikos Moschos, Victor Pastor, Achilleas Pistonis, Maria Pogorzhelskaya, Alexander Pogorzhelsky and Chantal Van Houten who initiate a dialogue on portraiture , giving the observer the opportunity to reflect on this particular type of contemporary representation and on the conception of the human figure.

An evident declaration, once again, of how this genre has never waned in the history of art.

We often wonder about the portrait. The exhibition aims to make the viewer reflect on the reasons for its eternal fascination. The artist who decides to paint a portrait is constantly confronted with the pitfalls of his own conscience and with the masters of the past, wishing to leave a socio-cultural trace of that exact moment.

On the occasion of the exhibition, a critical text was written by Bohdan Stupak, a young Ukrainian curator.
