Held Together

Serpen Gallery, Auguststraße 83, 10117, Berlin

May 7, 2026 – June 7, 2026

A duo exhibition by Diana Demianenko and Maria Charkina. The project explores themes of connection, emotional closeness, and quiet mutual support. Through intimate figurative paintings, the artists reflect on moments drawn from women’s everyday realities — states of calm, introspection, tenderness, and emotional elevation. Many of the works feature two figures, suggesting either a silent dialogue between people or an inward conversation with oneself. A restrained cool-toned palette reinforces the atmosphere of stillness and contemplation that runs throughout the exhibition.
