The exhibition "Catharsis of Love" by artist Sonya Morozyuk opened in Odesa at the Artodessa gallery on February 14.

A photojournalist from Intenta visited it.

"Catharsis of Love" is a project prepared by artist and designer Sonya Morozyuk especially for Odesa on Valentine's Day. The author sends messages through her artworks about love, hope, and freedom using color, emotions, and words. In her opinion, "it is creativity that is the path to true liberation," the exhibition's annotation reads.

It should be noted that the opening was not sold out, but you have the opportunity to see the works of the artist, whose exhibition ironically titled "Ointment" was closed last year at the Institute of Contemporary Art Problems of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine after a scandal with her fiancé.

We are talking about the son of Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevych, Roman. The family was suspected, as the largest suppliers to the Ministry of Defense, of fraud in the procurement of clothing and underwear for the Armed Forces. According to the State Bureau of Investigation, the Hrynkevychs caused almost a billion hryvnias in losses to the state. After that, Sonia Morozyuk broke off her engagement, and promised to donate the money from the sale of her ex's gifts to the Armed Forces. Regarding the accusations of sponsorship by Hrynkevych, the artist emphasized on her Instagram page that she had achieved success in her art through her own efforts.

It should be noted that after a failed romance, she released a song called "Free". Sonia Morozyuk's solo exhibition in Odesa will run until February 23.

"Frankly speaking, this is the best photo zone on February 14. I love it, I'm waiting for it, I'm tempting you to see the new exhibition," the mystic wrote on Instagram, who is currently in Kyiv.

Sonya Morozyuk is confident that her work is "understandable to everyone" and noted that the same letters are written for all the paintings, but everyone interprets them differently, thinking about different people and experiences.
