Vienna Impressions 2026
13–23 May 2026 | Galerie Contemplor, Vienna, Austria
Organised by Unity Art Nations o.z. in collaboration with Galerie Contemplor
Curated by Martina Szilágyi
Under the patronage of Ján Nosko, Mayor of Banská Bystrica.
Vienna Impressions 2026 brought together 42 artists in an international contemporary art exhibition celebrating diverse artistic voices and cultural exchange. Organised and curated by Martina Szilágyi, founder of Unity Art Nations, in collaboration with Galerie Contemplor, the project connected established artists and emerging talents within a shared international setting.
Through their countries of origin and residence, participating artists represented Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, the United Kingdom, North Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Peru, the United States and India. This diversity brought different cultural experiences and perspectives into dialogue, giving expression to the exhibition’s guiding idea: Art That Connects Nations.
The curatorial selection presented a broad spectrum of painting styles alongside black-and-white photography, drawing, relief and sculpture. Visitors encountered contrasting approaches to colour, form, texture and composition, discovering connections between individual artistic worlds. Each work contributed its own perspective while remaining part of a wider conversation across cultures and generations.
A special place in the exhibition belonged to “Madona Nobis Pacem” ceramic sculpture by Czech ceramic artist Kamila Tjokordová. Conceived as its symbolic patroness and the guardian, the Madonna embodies peace, compassion and protection within the exhibition space. The artwork received the official patronage of Ing. Šárka Šimoňáková, deputy Governor of the Moravian - Silesian Region in the The Czech Republic.
The international selection also featured Pinks Singh, an Indian-born British artist based in London. His Nepal Yatra collection introduced visitors to paintings inspired by Nepal’s landscapes, traditions and cultural identity.
The opening reception on 13 May extended the exhibition into the performing arts. Students from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (VŠMU), led by Maxim Chahal, presented live performance art, bringing movement, theatrical expression and a direct encounter with the audience into the gallery. Their contribution connected visual and performing arts within one programme.
Supporting young talent was an important part of the project. Martin Veljačik, a young artist studying at the Private School of Applied Arts Pink Harmony in Zvolen, had the opportunity to exhibit alongside established international artists. His participation, together with the involvement of VŠMU students, reflected Unity Art Nations’ commitment to creating opportunities for the next generation of artists.
Held under the patronage of Ján Nosko, Mayor of Banská Bystrica, Vienna Impressions 2026 also contributed to the international presentation of Slovak contemporary art and encouraged connections between artists working in different countries.
The exhibition attracted media attention in Slovakia and abroad, including coverage by the Slovak news portal Netky.sk and NepaliLink, alongside a feature on participating artist Sylva Hankeová in the Czech regional newspaper Deník.
Through its artworks, performances and personal encounters, Vienna Impressions 2026 created a space for exchange, new relationships and future collaboration. It carried forward the mission of Unity Art Nations: to connect people and nations through art, support creative talent and build lasting cultural bridges.

India as a Curator
Art That Connects Nations
My participation in Mission Zero Hunger did not remain a personal experience. As a curator, I felt a responsibility to open this path to others. Through my involvement, I was able to curate and organize a journey for three additional artists from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland, enabling them to take part in this humanitarian and cultural mission.
This project became a living example of how art connects people and nations. Artists from different countries, cultures, and languages came together with a shared purpose: to contribute through creativity and compassion. The artworks they donated were not only objects of visual expression, but bridges between worlds.
As a curator, I experienced how art can function as a universal language, breaking boundaries and building understanding. The journey strengthened international collaboration, deepened artistic dialogue, and proved that curatorship can be an act of service as much as an act of creation.
Unity Art Nations believes in art as a bridge between creativity and humanity.
India reminded us that art is not separate from reality. When guided by intention, it becomes a force that unites cultures, supports humanity, and transforms both the giver and the receiver.

India as a Donor
Art with Purpose
Through art, I was given the opportunity to travel to India not as a tourist, but as a donor and a witness. Thanks to the generosity of a philanthropist and founder of the Mission Zero Hunger initiative, artworks donated by artists were auctioned to support people living in extreme poverty. In return, this act of giving opened a door to a country of striking contrasts.
India revealed itself to me as a land of intense colors, scents, spirituality, and magnificent architecture, but also as a place where poverty is part of everyday life. Walking through markets and streets, it was impossible to ignore the presence of hungry, dirty children asking for a few rupees. These moments were confronting, humbling, and deeply transformative.
This journey reaffirmed my belief that art can have meaning beyond aesthetics. When an artwork becomes a tool for help, it gains another layer of value. Art can feed, protect, and restore dignity. Being part of Mission Zero Hunger showed me that even a single painting can contribute to real change.
This journey I shared with my husband, experiencing together not only the beauty of India, but also the responsibility that comes with privilege and awareness.
