ART4PEACE

“My hope was with “Women4Peace - Art4Peace” to build trust, and create an environment for listening, sharing and inspiring each other through artistic dialogue.

This intercultural conversation proves every year that people from different parts of the world all have a strong aspiration to working together, sharing their experiences and finding the common ground for creating a more just and colourful world.

I am truly grateful to all the ambassadors, artists, poets and musicians for their contributions.

Through this joint effort we can show what true collaboration is.

It is a conviction I hold more strongly today than ever that art can endure beyond tragedy and, perhaps most importantly, help future generations become wiser, more compassionate, and more deeply attentive to one another.

At its core, “Art4Peace” transcends borders to preserve our humanist approach in times of division and focuses on inspiration and mutual respect.”

“Art4Peace differs from a conventional exhibition in one striking way: it represents not only artists, but nations. This year, 22 countries take part — the highest number in the exhibition’s history.

From an almost 300-year-old Indian Pichwai and the works of a 17-year-old Egyptian painter, through Peru’s ceramic bulls, to the biomorphic forms of Hungarian artist Zsófi Barabás, the exhibition unfolds across a spectrum that is not only visually broad, but deeply distinctive in character. What emerges is culture in concentrated form — richly interwoven with history, tradition, and renewal.

Now in its third edition, Art4Peace continues to draw invisible lines of connection in the name of peace — reminding us that true strength can reside in a brushstroke, a resonant note, or the delicate sequence of words.”
