February 2026: Athletes of Art — Pieve Emanuele

Athletes of Art — Pieve Emanuele is one of the exhibition events within the international cultural project developed as part of the Cultural Olympiad Milano Cortina 2026.

Conceived as a distributed exhibition, Athletes of Art unfolds across multiple locations in Milan and Lombardy, creating a dialogue between contemporary art, sport, movement, and social engagement.

The exhibition in Pieve Emanuele opened on February 20, 2026, presenting works by international artists within a public cultural space and engaging a diverse audience.
Within this context, Liliia Kaluzhyna presented three paintings that explore movement, tension, and human presence through expressive form and color:

These works were integrated into the exhibition environment, creating a direct interaction between the artworks, the architectural space, and the audience. The  Pieve Emanuele exhibition emphasized the role of contemporary art as a living platform for reflection, memory, and collective experience.
