After the exhibition with works by Lev Levkiv in 2023, we opened the doors of the gallery on November 30, 2024 especially for family, friends, and special guests of Corlique Kosterman and Julia.
Corlique's colorful paintings and ceramics in combination with Julia's fine work create a new dynamic in the gallery.

2023

On September 24, 2022, we opened the doors of the Julia Ilkiv & Co. Art Gallery.
A year later, in September 2023, we were faced with the harsh reality of an ongoing war, which meant that Julia’s works could no longer remain safe in the Artschool. However, in the midst of these challenges, an opportunity arose to bring the works to the Netherlands, together with works by Lev Levkiv, her mentor. Lev no longer teaches art but works as a defender on the front.
On November 30, 2023, we opened the gallery doors to family, friends, and special guests. Together we raised our glasses to peace, to life, and to art. We listened with great admiration to Julia's speech in Dutch about her artistic journey and tribute to her mentor Lev and the Artschool that helped shape her.
