The winter exhibition in Lviv

On 29 January, a new art exhibition opened at the House of the Warrior in Lviv, featuring works from the Armigera Art space.
This exhibition is about beauty, tranquillity, and the inner strength that art provides even in difficult times.
This time, viewers were presented with two exhibitions at once:
‘Paper World’ — works on paper that reveal the beauty of simple materials and subtle sensations. Watercolours, pencils, gouache, mixed techniques — all about the fragility and, at the same time, the power of art.
The winter exhibition — canvases painted in oil and acrylic. These are winter landscapes and moods that remind us that winter can be not only cold, but also bright, cosy and inspiring.
The exhibition features works by Ukrainian artists from different regions of Ukraine, as well as artists who are currently abroad due to the war.
The Armigera Art space has been supporting Ukrainian artists for over three years, combining art with charity.
We invite you to visit the exhibition at the House of the Warrior.
The exhibition curator is Zoriana Pavlyshyn.
The art space is Armigera Art.

International Festival ‘ART Therapy. Healing and Resource’

On 11 October 2025, the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (IAPM) hosted the 6th International Festival ‘ART Therapy. Healing and Resource,’ in which I also took part.
Festival participants attended master classes given by prominent psychologists, psychotherapists, coaches, and art therapists.
The aim of the VI International Festival ‘ART Therapy. Healing and Resource’ was to integrate scientific approaches and practical developments in the field of psychological assistance to military personnel, veterans, children, adolescents and the civilian population of Ukraine.
The ART Festival was positioned as an interdisciplinary platform that combines scientific research, practical methods, and innovative art therapy interventions.
The event was aimed at sharing practical experience in working with military personnel, veterans and the civilian population of Ukraine. ART Festival is an important platform for discussing topical issues of psychological support and social interaction, as well as promoting the professional development of specialists in the helping professions.
Particular emphasis was placed on the issue of working with children and adolescents who have suffered psychological trauma and need targeted assistance and resource support in the current military conditions.

The Festival is aimed at psychologists, coaches, teachers, students, volunteers, military personnel, veterans and their families, civil servants, heads of institutions, as well as anyone interested in developing professional and personal competencies in the field of psychological support and restoration of inner potential.
