Broad Perspective is a painting project that consists of 12 oil paintings on canvas of various sizes (ranging from 35 × 55 cm to 100 × 130 cm) and connected with the ideas of road, distance, displacement, temporality, and change. The series is currently divided between Brussels (7 larger works) and Copenhagen (5 smaller works), where they were presented in group exhibitions in 2022–2023.
I’m searching for a curator/institution in Copenhagen or Brussels (or nearby, if the institution can organize and has a budget for logistics) to present my project/selected works in a local exhibition with the option of selling. I’m open to collaborating with curators, galleries, other cultural institutions, or art fairs.
With this project, I want to create connections and roads between different realities and find a common language with people abroad.

Broad Perspective reflects on a place that is, in a sense, absent: while moving, a person seems to exist “nowhere.” The series functions as a kind of road diary, observing the acceptance of constant change and the search for beauty within fleeting moments.
Following the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the project acquired a new layer of meaning. The works now evoke a heightened sense of fragility and temporariness. In recent years, the symbolic meaning of movement has changed profoundly. While travel may still offer expanded perspectives and opportunities — particularly for artists — it has also become more complicated and exhausting. With air travel unavailable from Ukraine, journeys have grown longer; familiar routes to the south remain inaccessible due to occupation, and some landscapes captured in these paintings may remain out of reach for years to come.
I’m dreaming of a time when travelling will once again be easy, safe, and accessible for all Ukrainians.
For many Western viewers, this series may appear relatively neutral, as they have not had to experience these limitations — and that, in itself, is something to be grateful for.
