An exhibition with an anti-war message was inaugurated at the National Art Museum of Moldova

An exhibition with a strong anti-war message was inaugurated at the National Art Museum of Moldova. The exhibition titled "Casa meaMy Home" brings together contemporary artworks by artists from the Republic of Moldova, Poland, Ukraine and Italy. Along with the works of professionals, the drawings of children from the placement centers for refugees in Ukraine are also presented, informs Moldova 1.


Right from the moment you enter the exhibition, you feel the threat of these weapons.

"The mission is to resist these weapons and to say NO to war, no to atrocities that these weapons are aimed at all of us, it is important to show solidarity", said the organizer of the exhibition, Valeria Barbas.

Mihail Puzur, originally from the Republic of Moldova, lived in Kharkiv for 42 years, studied at the Academy of Arts, then was a teacher at the same institution. The war made him return to his heritage. For the exhibition, the painter created a work dedicated to the parental home, entitled "Crossroads from my native village".

In the diversity of works, the poem "Bullets from Mariupol" by Dumitru Crudu attracts attention.

"I wrote it at the very moment when Mariupol was being attacked by the Russian army. My poem is about the fact that we should not be afraid and indifferent, we should be in solidarity", said the writer Dumitru Crudu.

The exhibition promotes fundamental human values.

"It's about the concept of what home means to us. It is a very close place and at the same time, very fragile today", added the organizer.

"This is not about an objective treatment. The house as a construction element, but the emotions, what traces this war left. I liked the works that the children did, Valeria has a moving work Gray spots on a light background: "Odesa sky", said the art critic, Eleonora Sîdnic.

"There are many people who want to talk about this phenomenon, the phenomenon of war, and they don't let themselves be pressured, they don't give up."

"There will be peace - everything will be fine, without peace nothing can be done."

The "Casa mea\My Home" exhibition can be seen at the National Art Museum until October 3.
