My exhibition at Galerini in Munich
FROM THE DIARY OF UKRAINIAN ARTIST Iryna Federnko
I was very pleased to have my latest exhibition in Munich’s Schwabing district in september. I have now been in Munich for almost six months and this exhibition captures many aspects of the Ukrainian soul,..
I tried to focuss on portraits and and I am especially fascinated by eyes,.. capturing the deep look of my fellow Ukrainians and people in general ,.is an endless source of inspiration for me.
Of course the humanity and human condition that I try to portray in my art,..and the distinctly Ukrainian vibrations seems to resonate with a German audience at this particular time.
Of all European nations,..Germany has been especially welcoming to the Ukrainian people,.. assisting them with special resettlement packages and with various Government assistance and Grants ,, to facilitate their establishing new lives away from the war torn Ukraine.
“As a well known Ukrainian artists with over 20 years of creative experience. In the past three years my works have been displayed in more than 50 exhibitions in museums and galleries in Europe, USA and Asia under her creative alias Semira.
