Echoes of Resilience: Reflections on Survival and Renewal brings together the work of nine internationally recognized and emerging artists who interrogate and celebrate the concept of resilience across personal, cultural, environmental, and futuristic dimensions. This timely exhibition examines the enduring role of creativity when navigating upheaval and shaping a future grounded in strength, healing, and transformation.

Concept:

The past decade has borne witness to profound disruption and change—political unrest, environmental degradation, personal loss, and digital metamorphosis. Echoes of Resilience: Reflections on Survival and Renewal invites viewers to engage with the profound strength of the human spirit through the lens of contemporary art. The exhibition presents a collection of works that ask: What does it mean to survive and thrive today? How can art carry us through adversity, and what does renewal look like in an uncertain world?

Exhibition Highlights Include:

● Personal Resilience & Healing: Artworks that confront grief and personal transformation,

illuminating the therapeutic power of creation and the possibility of rebirth.

● Environmental Resilience: Works that speak to climate awareness, ecological

interconnectedness, and the role of creativity in advocating for planetary renewal.

● Speculative Futures: Imaginative visions of post-crisis worlds where humanity has

evolved, endured, and reimagined life beyond catastrophe.

Featured Artists:

Ulyana Korol (Ukraine/Spain)

Korol’s vivid palette-knife oil paintings explore water as a metaphor for survival—fluid, transformative, and restorative. Her new series draws from her personal journey as a mother and artist, capturing water’s meditative movement as a symbol of emotional resilience and inner healing.

Paula Borsetti (USA)

Borsetti’s deeply personal abstract works channel grief, hope, and rebirth through her layered acrylic paintings. In her PALS series, she honors the life of a friend’s son, incorporating words and textures that embody strength, love, and impermanence. Her newest pieces engage with the emotional landscapes of loss and the emergence of joy from sorrow.

Tünde Kácsor (Hungary)

Merging abstraction and natural forms, Kácsor’s serene yet urgent landscapes speak toecological resilience. Her works offer sanctuary—meditative spaces that reconnect viewers to the rhythms and sanctity of nature, while urging awareness of environmental fragility.

Ingrid Hoffstadter Visnovska (Slovakia)

Visnovska’s striking lenticular series No Comment juxtaposes historic art masterpieces with contemporary images from the war in Ukraine. These two-in-one images confront the viewer with the ongoing reality of global conflict amid devastation, invoking layered meanings and ethical reflection.

Margarita Godgelf (UK/Azerbaijan)

With echoes of Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro, Godgelf’s figurative paintings explore the quiet, often absurd negotiations of surviving in a world of inequality. Her light-drenched compositions highlight internal rebellion and resilience as a sacred, ongoing act of self-preservation and reinvention.

Peisy Ting (Malaysia)

Ting’s dynamic abstractions trace her evolution from creative director to fine artist. Through expressive brushwork and vibrant contrasts, she examines dualities like chaos vs. order and strength vs. fragility, revealing emergent forces that suggest possibilities for change and transformation.

Alison Pasquini (USA)

In her biomorphic series Fleshed Out, Pasquini imagines surreal, post-human environments that critique our material entanglement with ecological collapse. Her dreamy yet unsettling oil and mixed-media works suggest both destruction and a haunting resilience embedded in natural and artificial worlds.

Cameron Davis (USA)

Davis’s ecological paintings are visual meditations on our interconnectedness with the living world. Influenced by systems thinking and environmental philosophy, her improvisational ecosystems mirror natural relationships and encourage a renewed understanding of resilience through interdependence and shared vitality.

Soledad Burgaleta (México)

Burgaleta’s mixed-media portraits from Una vida en la mirada (A Life in the Gaze) honor elderly individuals who survive by begging on the streets. Painted over the pages of vintage romantic novels, her work creates a powerful contrast between idealized love and harsh societal neglect.

Curatorial Statement:

“We curated this exhibition as a global reflection on the adaptive strength and enduring creativity of individuals and communities. From war imagery to layered abstraction, the works in Echoes of Resilience remind us that renewal is not a singular act, but a practice—a reimagining that happens again and again, in brushstrokes, in stories, and in spirit. At its core, Echoes of Resilience is both a mirror and a beacon; it reflects the pain and perseverance of our times while lighting a path forward through hope, imagination, and collective strength." - Nerissa Bardfeld
