Ukrainian artist Iryna Fedorenko exhibits in Milan
Ukrainian artist Iryna Fedorenko participated in Ukrainian Cultural projects in Italy after exhibiting at Galerini in Munich
Iryna whom I first met at her exhibition in i Munich several months ago ,.said that several news items in my creative life are connected with Italy all at once. A couple of days ago after my personal exhibition in Milan ended as part of the largest Ukrainian cultural project in Italy. I went to the opening of the exhibition and spent several days there, talking with the audience and guests. I presented my paintings from the “Children of War” series, these works leave an impression on most people, so much so that several galleries and museums have entered into negotiations te to show these works as soon as possible.
I am planning to participate in another exhibition in Milan in the middle of November.
These projects are charitable, by buying paintings you are doing a good deed – helping Ukrainians who have suffered as a result of Russian aggression. Let’s do good deeds together!
Recently, a book about Ukraine by the Director of the Italian Institute of Culture in Kyiv –Edoardo Crisafulli -was published, I highly recommend reading it. Congratulations to Edoardo and I am proud that my painting from the “Children of War” series was featured on the cover of this book. And I look forward to the catalog of my paintings, which will be released very soon also thanks to the help of my friends – the Institute of Culture of Italy.
