In February 2021, Ukrainian-Italian artist Liliia Kaluzhyna received the critical motivation for her 1st Paul Cézanne Prize, awarded by ArtExpò Gallery. According to the critics, her art stands out for its pursuit of image solidity, where the contour offers confidence, and the color embodies artistic freedom. Kaluzhyna’s works reflect a desire to escape the contradictions of reality, portraying a sentimental vision of the world. Her unique approach places her among modern artists whose works resonate with both art collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary paintings. The prize was awarded by a panel of experts, including art critic and curator Rosana Chetta, acknowledging her impact on the world of modern painting.
