“NEW HOPE” arrives in Chișinău.

Opening on July 29, 2026, at the National Museum of Art of Moldova, the exhibition unfolds as a reflection on an uncertain present,an interregnum where the old has dissolved and the new has yet to take shape. In this suspended moment, hope emerges not as certainty, but as something fragile, unstable, and persistent.

Roman Tolici’s paintings shift the perspective from the history of humankind to the deeper time of the planet itself, proposing a post-anthropocentric gaze. His compositions oscillate between collective human presence and vast, often dystopian landscapes populated by remnants, ruins, and symbols of contemporary mythology. Objects become monuments, excess turns into residue, and reality folds back onto itself in circular narratives that blur the line between image and meaning.

’s upcoming exhibition in Chișinău explores a space where reality continuously shifts scale and meaning.

The New Hope series moves between the microuniverse of human communities and a dystopian macrouniverse of oversized landscapes, abandoned objects, and fragmented, almost cadaveric forms. These elements become symbols of contemporary culture, carriers of new mythologies.

Drawing on this logic of myth, Tolici constructs circular meanings, where images oscillate between object and interpretation, between what is seen and what is understood. His paintings attempt a fragile reconciliation: between reality and human experience, between description and explanation, between object and knowledge.
