Ukrainian artist Vitaly Semenukha announced his intention to implement the "Hope and Revival" project, which involves holding a series of exhibitions in European countries to support Ukraine. Exhibitions are planned to be held in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Italy.
Semenukha, known for his impressive works and high professionalism, decided to use his artistic talent to support his homeland in this difficult time. The "Hope and Revival" project was a response to the need for European countries to come together in support of Ukraine and to express solidarity in the struggle for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Vitaliy Semenukha is known in narrow circles of collectors as a portrait painter and a pioneer of the Ukrainian movement of artists copying masterpieces of world art, who use these works as manifestations of certain contemporary events.
Each work is not just a professionally made reproduction, but an author's position and reflection on events in the political, historical and cultural spheres in Ukraine and the world. The artist uses his paintings as philosophical codes that need to be deciphered. In total, Semenukha is the author of more than 1,300 works-manifestations.
As part of the "Hope and Revival" project, Vitaly Semenukha will present a series of paintings in the genres of Baroque, Romanticism, Impressionism and Modernism to the European audience.
The artist aims to strengthen support for Ukraine in those countries where it has been reduced or limited due to internal problems or anti-Ukrainian sentiments used by Russian propaganda. Vitaly Semenukha will traditionally donate part of the funds from the sale of canvases to the needs of the Ukrainian army.
The exhibition will include works created by the artist over two decades. In particular, "Valley of Tears" (Gustava Dore), "The Virgin Mary" (Carlo Dolce), "Balthasar's Banquet" (Rembrandt Van Rijn), "Danaia" (Rembrandt Van Rijn) and others.

Vitaliy Semenukha's canvases are currently in many galleries around the world (Ukraine, European countries and Australia), as well as in private collections. In art circles, V. Semenukha is regarded as a "chameleon artist" due to his talent for embodying different styles and historical eras in his paintings, from the baroque to the modernism of G. Klimt or the classics of P. Rubens.
