Exhibition On 18 May, Kharkiv hosted the opening of the 15th All-Ukrainian and 6th International exhibition “Graphics in Kharkiv – 2025”.

This event once again confirmed the status of Kharkiv as a strong artistic centre not only in Ukraine but worldwide — despite its proximity to the frontline and the ongoing daily threats.

The exhibition featured over 500 works from 25 countries around the world, including participants from the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa. Around 300 artists took part in the event, showcasing a stunning stylistic variety — from classical etchings and monotypes to contemporary digital graphics.

At the opening, the head of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, Kostiantyn Cherniavskyi, called the holding of this unique exhibition in the unbreakable fortress city of Kharkiv symbolic: “The number of works and their geographic diversity demonstrate that art can truly unite, and the solidarity shown by our fellow artists from different countries in this crucial time of Ukraine’s struggle for its identity is extremely important,” emphasised the Chief Artist of Ukraine.

ROSA team sincerely supports cultural initiatives and was proud to participate in the event as an art partner.

Congratulations to Oleksii Borysov on winning the Grand Prize! His works are deeply emotional graphic expressions that reflect the tragedy of war, resistance, and the unbreakable spirit of Ukrainian identity.

Winners in the “Watercolour and Pastel” category:

Volodymyr Nosan. His work “Sleep” impresses with its symbolism and warmth: the figure of a sleeping person seems to protect a whole world of small houses, creating a feeling of coziness, calm, and a dreamy escape from reality.

Serhii Khrapov. The artist’s works are fantastic graphic compositions full of symbolism, absurdity, and an unsettling atmosphere, conveying deep emotions through metaphorical imagery.

Daria Khrisanfova. Her watercolour artwork “Islands” evokes an atmosphere of silence, solitude, and contemplation of nature through the transparency of a winter landscape and the delicate graphic details.

Olena Morhunova. Her work “Melody of Summer” is filled with bright abstract shapes and colours that reflect the lightness, warmth, and exuberance of nature in the summer season.

Nataliia Bohusevych. Her work “Calm” is a delicate poetic expression of space, where light, silence, and nature merge into a state of inner balance and contemplative peace.

Olha Kriuk. The artist’s works are a painterly reflection on the urban environment, where the interplay of light, reflections, and textures conveys the rhythm, mood, and poetic nature of contemporary urbanism.

May creativity always be a source of strength, inspiration, and confidence. We wish you new ideas, bold decisions, and many vibrant exhibitions ahead! We sincerely thank the organizer, Vladyslav Khrystenko, for his collaboration, courage, energy, and unwavering faith in the power of art.
