VITALIA SAMUILOVA, Winner of the FIG Bilbao Prize to exhibit in November 2025
“What a beautiful space and context for encounters this event creates! I felt very well received. I met a lot of sensitivity from people towards my work and myself. Interesting conversations followed, and beautiful human meetings took place.”
This is how Vitalia Samuilova describes her experience at OPEN Portfolio and FIG Bilbao. The artist found a warm and inspiring space for artistic exchange.
“I met great artists — it’s always a pleasure to admire someone’s work and feel inspired,” she says. The experience not only brought new connections but also gave her renewed creative energy: “As my work touched and was appreciated, I feel a nice courage for the new images to create.”
With that spirit, she already looks ahead: “I’m really looking forward to coming back in November 2025 to show and share new creations.”
“Thank you once again to the OPEN Portfolio team, fellow artists, and the audience for this important moment.”
