Kiril Hadzhiev's Solo Exhibition at Castello di Rivara

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Kiril Hadzhiev (Sofia, 1990) presents a solo exhibition at Castello di Rivara, hosted by gallerist Davide Paludetto. The show features paintings where the human figure emerges through pure color without preparatory drawing, reflecting the artist's sculptural background. Critic Fabio Vito Lacertosa describes the encounter between viewer and artwork as a silent dialogue, where meaning is ambiguous. Hadzhiev's figures are depicted as mute, suspended between animal and divine, lacking historical context or definitive purpose. The exhibition runs at the Castello di Rivara venue.
