The inaugural Chicago Art Fair took place at THE MART (Merchandise Mart). I was pleased to have my work represented by Addington Gallery at this first edition of the fair, which brought together galleries and artists from around the world, establishing a new international platform for contemporary art and art collecting.

URBAN ECHOES 2026 — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 11–October 30, 2026
The third annual URBAN ECHOES exhibition continues my exploration of the relationship between people and the urban environment. This year, I present a new body of work inspired by everyday scenes and the changing atmosphere of the city: its streets, architecture, public spaces, and the interplay of light and movement. Through these observations, I examine how places shape our experiences and how ordinary moments can acquire new meaning when viewed from a different perspective.

PAXOS VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE — Paxos, Greece

July 3–August 16, 2026
In this body of work, I explore the vernacular architecture of Paxos, focusing on the island’s historic stone houses, shops, ruined buildings, and traditional church belfries scattered throughout the landscape. Each painting is an individual portrait of a characteristic island building. Through these works, I aim not only to capture the appearance and nostalgic presence of these structures but also to preserve a record of the island’s architectural heritage, which is gradually disappearing.

The exhibition was curated by Christophe Boicos.

URBAN ECHOES 2025 — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 12–October 30, 2025
The city is always speaking through cracked sidewalks, old façades, and the details of everyday life. My paintings record that conversation. In this body of work, I explore how people and places shape each other over time, and how something ordinary can become strangely precious when removed from its usual context.

DAILY IMPRESSIONS — Addington Gallery, Chicago

September 6–October 25, 2024
In this exhibition, I presented 12 recent oil paintings united by the theme of everyday life. As a longtime Chicago resident, I find inspiration in my daily routine. Surrounded by the city’s architecture and everyday activity, I draw ideas from my daily walks and bicycle rides, as well as from visits to the opera and museums.

2023–2024
My etchings were selected for the 2023 Guanlan International Print Biennial Exhibition at the China Printmaking Museum, one of the world’s major printmaking events.

I have maintained a long-standing relationship with the Guanlan Original Printmaking Base. I completed residencies there in 2010 and 2013, held a solo exhibition in 2010, and received a top award at the Second International Guanlan Print Biennial.

UNION LEAGUE CLUB OF CHICAGO

February 2018 and December 2021
I was invited to present two solo exhibitions at the historic Union League Club of Chicago. I felt particularly honored to show my work at the Club because of its history and longstanding involvement in the arts since its founding in 1879.

The Club’s art collection includes works by several important and influential artists, particularly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Claude Monet, Grant Wood, George Bellows, and John Singer Sargent.

My exhibitions achieved the highest sales of any exhibitions held since the Club’s exhibition program began. The program features a diverse range of presentations, from solo exhibitions to group exhibitions, and has become a significant part of the Club’s identity.

VAN ROEY — International Graphic Project

GROEP VAN ROEY, one of Belgium’s largest construction companies, participates in the International Graphic Project. Each year, seven artists are invited to create two etchings for the collection. I was honored to be part of this distinguished group in 2020.

The project involved several countries. It was initiated in Belgium, and I created the plates during my residency at Il Bisonte in Florence, Italy. The edition was printed in Portugal and then shipped to Chicago, where I signed the prints after returning from Florence.

DEDEE SHATTUCK GALLERY — Westport, Massachusetts, USA

July 31–September 1, 2019
I was invited to participate in an exhibition of Eastern European artists, to which I contributed three urban paintings of St. Petersburg, the city of my birth. Creating this body of work was particularly meaningful because it took me down memory lane. I welcomed the opportunity to revisit my childhood memories and view them from an adult perspective.

The exhibition was curated by Ben Shattuck, the gallery’s lead curator.
