On 14 March, the grand opening of the All-Ukrainian exhibition “Colours of Peace” took place.
With the support of the Yunus Emre Institute in Kyiv.
“Colours of Peace” is an exhibition that transports visitors into a world of beauty, uniting two cultures and peoples, and presenting a feast of colours, diverse techniques and themes.
The opening was attended by Ali Oguzhan Yüksel, the coordinator of the Yunus Emre Institute in Ukraine, who was genuinely impressed by the works on display. He shared his impressions in a comment, which you can hear in the video.
All-Ukrainian Art Exhibition: ‘Colours of Peace’ — an art project dedicated to the friendly and partnership relations between Ukraine and Turkey.
The exhibition focuses on the values that unite our peoples: mutual support, cultural dialogue, historical respect and peaceful coexistence.
At the heart of the exhibition: images of Ukraine and Turkey as symbols of friendship; cultural and folklore motifs from Turkey; landscapes, architecture and historical sites; visual interpretations of peace, harmony and dialogue.

Ornament

Winter ornament. The magical winter patterns

When winter arrives with its bitter frosts, the windows of our homes are painted with magical patterns. The delicate, enchanting designs on the glass appear to be hand-drawn. Since childhood, we have believed that at night, when we are all asleep, Father Frost decorates our windows with his magic staff. And even if it is just a fairy tale, it always warms our hearts.
The magical winter patterns on the windows are surprisingly similar to delicate weaving made of the finest threads. And as we gaze at the patterns, strange visions appear before us: bizarre branches and flowers, fairy-tale animals, the outlines and shapes of fairy-tale castles, the feathers of exotic birds, transparent snowflake stars, the finest geometric ornamentation — frost patterns are diverse and unique. The drawings of these fairy-tale winter patterns are not only unique, but also one of a kind. And the magical artist creates more and more new pictures.
The winter patterns on the windows are mesmerising and striking in their beauty, and looking at them makes you want to marvel and believe in miracles! It also makes you want to capture them on canvas…

City landscape

The Romance of Paris

The romance of Paris is a combination of places filled with a special magnetism in this unique city, such as the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and the bridges of the Seine, with cosy cafés, street artists and an artistic atmosphere, where lovers stroll through narrow streets, drink hot chocolate at Angel or watch the sunset from the Île de la Cité. Such places attract not only artists and lovers. Anyone who visits Paris is imbued with the special, romantic atmosphere of this city, whose main symbols, the Wall of Love, Pont des Arts, walks along the Seine, complemented by the atmosphere of the artists of Montmartre and the mysterious mass of the legendary Notre-Dame de Paris, reinforce the romantic influence of the city, which, according to Balzac, has no equal in the Universe.

Kostełik (A small cathedral)

The painting depicts one of the unique temple structures in Ukraine.
The church from the village of Yazlivchik, Zolochivsky District, Lvov Region, built in 1936, has no name. The wooden structure on a high concrete base with a steep shingle roof is a unique example of the use of modernism in sacred architecture. A miniature hipped tower, rebuilt after destruction, with a wrought-iron cross is located above the square base of the entrance to the colourful building.
The church, or ‘kostełik’ (small cathedral), has no analogues either in Ukraine or abroad. The temple has preserved its original wooden altar in the form of a portal with Corinthian columns, crowned with an image of the ‘All-Seeing Eye of God’ in a sunbeam.
In 2013, the dilapidated and neglected temple was dismantled and moved to the Shevchenko Grove Museum of Folk Architecture and Life near Lvov. It was restored before being reassembled at the museum.

Ornament

Gopak — dance

Gopak is the hallmark of traditional Ukrainian folk dance originating in Zaporizhia.
It is a symbol of Ukrainian culture and choreography and is known throughout the world for its energy, dynamism and virtuoso jumps.
The name of the dance comes from the exclamation ‘gop!’ during its performance.
Its origins date back to the Cossack era, when it was performed as combat training, conveying a spirit of strength and courage.
Traditional Ukrainian folk instruments are used to perform the gopak. These include the violin, pipe, and tambourine. These instruments create a fast, energetic accompaniment that matches the dynamic nature of the dance.
The diptych ‘Gopak — Music and Dance’ is created in a modern interpretation and complemented by the femininity and lyricism of Ukrainian ornamentation, emphasising the importance of cultural heritage carried through the centuries.
