Guided tour of the current exhibition - The Rite of Spring
May 16th 2026 | from 5 PM We would like to invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition The Rite of Spring. The exhibition focuses on folk traditions, rituals, and archetypes that have shaped our collective identity and continue to influence our behavior and social norms to this day.

The author conveys them through portrait and figural paintings, which function as surrogate characters for the broader experience of contemporary man, but also as an autobiographical statement. An unlucky day here is not a one-off event, but a long-term condition: a
