Yurii Bandera’s exhibition, “Crossroads of Worlds”(Перехрестя світів), will be on display May 30 to June 22 at the Ukrainian National Museum.
His work invites viewers into a space where multiple realities converge: cultures, memories, and inner and outer landscapes. Each work is born from the artist’s encounter with these dual realms, forming a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen. The “crossroads” becomes not just a motif but a philosophical meeting place—one where every viewer is invited to interpret the experience uniquely.
Yurii Bandera’s artistic journey began in his youth as a passionate art student, eventually leading him to study architecture at Lviv Polytechnic University. He went on to shape generations of young artists through more than two decades of teaching at the Stryi Higher Art School. In 2017, Bandera’s contributions to Ukrainian art were formally recognized with his acceptance into both the National Academy of Art and the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Now, in his new world—the United States—he continues to explore and expand his creative vision.
