ZOLI gallery Journal

Here, we gather texts about art and traditions, contemporary artists, the culture of celebrations, and the ways the past continues to speak to us today.

All materials are published in chronological order.

Christmas Through Art:

Ukrainian Symbols in the Works of Contemporary Artists

Christmas Through Art is a story about Ukrainian traditions that continue to live and evolve in the contemporary world.

It is a reflection on the didukh, the Christmas star, carols, and the festive table — reimagined by contemporary artists through the language of today. We speak about how the sacred, the everyday, and even irony coexist in both art and daily life.

These symbols are not confined to holidays alone. They stay with us beyond the festive season — as a quiet, constant reminder of our roots, our memory, and what truly matters.
