Kyiv Hosts Exhibition Celebrating Hungarian Painting and Women’s Imagery in Art
In the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, a significant cultural event opened its doors, dedicated to the Hungarian Day of Painting.
The exhibition entitled “Fates of Women, Their Images and Representations in the Works of Transcarpathian Artists” was organized by the Hungarian Embassy in Ukraine in collaboration with the Society of Hungarian Artists of Transcarpathia named after Imre Reves.
Taking place at the Museum of Kyiv’s History from October 15 to 26, 2025, the exhibition aims to promote Hungarian art, introduce Ukrainian audiences to the rich traditions and contemporary trends in painting.
The displayed artworks encompass various techniques such as painting, graphics, sculpture, and photo installations, with a central focus on the theme of women — depicting their stories across different life stages: youth, maturity, joy, solitude, and resilience.
At the core of the exhibition lies the symbol of woman as a source of inspiration, creativity, and vitality.
Through their works, Transcarpathian artists explore the multifaceted nature of female destiny, examining the notions of femininity and the role of women in modern society.
This project fosters a cultural dialogue between Ukraine and Hungary, bridging their artistic traditions and strengthening international cultural ties.
