The Face of the Eye is the first solo curatorial project by Ukrainian artist Vlada Ralko. The exhibition brings together works by Yuri Leiderman, Volodymyr Budnikov, Vlada Ralko, Bernhard Vogt, and Dieter Ruckhaberle. Within this project, history is not merely a backdrop – it becomes the very canvas of human existence, where political, ethical, and personal are intricately intertwined.
The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between Kyiv and Berlin, where each artwork becomes a point of contact between cultures, experiences, and generations that shape the complex optics of our time.

The exhibition brings together two seminal figures of contemporary Ukrainian art – sculptor Oleksandr Dyachenko and painter Oleksandr Babak. Their collaboration is far from coincidental: their creative inquiries and thematic interests intersect in an exploration of historical anthropology and the topography of the Ukrainian landscape, elements that profoundly shape the imagery of their works refined yet monumental in form and spirit.
Their artistic approach is defined by a measured pace and a deliberate resistance to immediacy in responding to the rapid shifts of mood and events. Rather than reacting, they contemplate, offering a deep and balanced reflectionon fundamental existential questions, resting within a space of equilibrium and quiet.

In 2023, a new space for contemporary art appeared in one of the most picturesque places in Lviv, Stryiskyi Park. Eight sculptures, created mostly from grey granite, bring together different artistic traditions and worldviews. Among the authors are Ukrainian sculptors Oleksandr Diachenko, Vasyl Korchovyi, Vitalii Protoseniia, and Oleg Kapustiak, as well as Japanese master Yoshin Ogata and Bulgarian sculptor Zdravko Zdravkov.
The creation of the sculpture route continued the tradition of the Kaniv International Sculpture Symposium, founded in 2011. This project expresses the philosophy of the Yurii Stashkiv Foundation: to make art visible in public space, yet so naturally integrated that it subtly transforms people, their surroundings, and the way they see the world.

In 2025, the second sculpture route was opened in Stryiskyi Park. This time, the works were installed along the Platanus Alley, transforming the area into an open and vibrant gallery. The route features twelve monumental granite sculptures. The participating artists include Oleksandr Diachenko, Illia Novgorodov, Vasyl Tatarskyi, Vincent Bofis-Urdigas, Lien Chinh Ho, Alessio Ranaldi, Yurii Bahalyka, Thomas Oliva, and Joni Gogaberishvili.
The project was realized as part of the Lviv Sculpture Week 2025 festival, continuing the activities of the ChervoneChorne art collective and the Kaniv International Sculpture Symposium.
