The pictorial space = collective memory. The shadowy figures appear like frozen echoes, silhouettes of lives that have no name, no face, but do carry weight. They represent the universal human condition, which becomes anonymous within the masses – and yet leaves its mark.
Darkness and light do not meet as opposites, but as permeable states, as veils between the inner and outer worlds. The material loses its contours; the unreal becomes tangible. It is not about the depiction of the individual, but about their dissolution into the collective structure – about the fading of identity in the sea of bodies, thoughts and history.
Here, the human being is not portrayed – they are sensed. And it is precisely in the absence of clarity that the depth of expression lies. The canvas becomes a mirror of an atmosphere in which every figure is at once someone and no one.
A work about the fleeting nature of human presence – and about what remains when everything disappears.

Viktoria Ovsepian
Viktoria Ovsepian has received several scholarships and awards, including a residency at the Magyar Képzőművészeti Egyetem (MKE) in Budapest (2021–2022), the EU4ART programme for artistic research (2022–2023) and the YETI Dresden Young Talent Award for Education and Technology (2025).
Artist Statement:
In her artistic practice, she explores the tension between reality and surreality. Drawing on memories, she develops works centred on their emotional core. She translates inner states – the invisible realm between seeing and feeling – into a visual language that is both subjective and universally accessible. Her works allow the viewer to experience how memories live on in the consciousness not only as images, but above all as feelings.
She has
presented her work in solo exhibitions, including at Kunstraum GEH8, Dresden (DESIRABLE TIMES, 2020), at the Magyar Képzőművészeti Egyetem, Budapest (NATURAL PROCESSES, 2021), at Galerie Mojavari, Berlin (O.T., 2022), at the Kunstgeheuse Gallery (momenta, 2023), at the Historical Collections in Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel (Zwischen Mit und Dir, 2023), at Spring Art Berlin (Garten, 2024) and at the 4h-art Artists’ Gallery in Hanover (Angst und Wut, 2025).
Her works have also been featured in numerous group exhibitions and auctions, including ‘Jahresgaben 2025/2026’, Kunstverein Mannheim / Ludwigshafen (opening: Friday, 5 December 2025, 7 pm), and the auction in aid of UNICEF (11 October–14 November 2025), Site Specific, Margit körút 25, Budapest (2022), Abgefahren, Verkehrsmuseum Dresden (2018), annual exhibitions and interventions at the HfBK Dresden (2018), *Über das Jucken*, Alte Feuerwache Loschwitz (2019), *BOARDING SPACES*, Labortheater Dresden – performance (2020), as well as at auctions and exhibitions organised by Sparkasse Dresden (2020, 2024), as part of NEUBAU – Zeitgemäßer Kunst Dresden (2021) and at the INDA Galeria, Budapest (2021).
