NEMESH ART AWARD

“Join me for ‘Prayer for Peace,’ an exhibition uniting artists in a shared mission to inspire positive change in a world gripped by conflict. Originating from my own experiences in war-torn Yugoslavia, this exhibition seeks to channel empathy into action. As tensions persist globally, our collective voice grows stronger. Let your art be a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. Together, let’s paint a brighter future.”

Vjekoslav Nemesh
