NEW HOPE by Roman Tolici at the National Museum of Art of Moldova in Chișinău is open now. You can visit it until the 20th of September.

After its journey through Brașov, Timișoara, Bucharest, Sibiu and Tulcea, this exhibition now continues on an international stage, framed as a kind of interregnum: a moment when the old world has faded and the new one has not yet fully arrived. In that suspended space, hope becomes fragile, unstable, but stubbornly persistent.

Roman Tolici is one of the leading artists of his generation from Eastern Europe. His work moves between photorealism and subtle surrealism, questioning how images shape our sense of reality, memory and belief. As he puts it: “The act of painting is the activation of an archive of survival strategies.”

The exhibition is organized by Mobius Gallery in partnership with the National Museum of Art of Moldova (Muzeul Național de Artă al Moldovei), with the support of the Government of the Republic of Moldova through the Ministry of Culture.

2 more days to go until we open the Chisinau edition of New Hope.

A travelling exhibition that has done a tour throughout Romania, has now arrived in Moldova, the country of origin of the artist.

Bringing a well needed perspective on hope in a context where the world is at the brink of destruction, the show is a place of contemplation and debate for what we look at and what we look forward to.

If you are in Chisinau, join us at the opening this Wednesday from 4PM.

Roman Tolici’s New Hope series unfolds in the uncertain space between what has ended and what has yet to begin.

Drawing on landscapes of ruin, oversized discarded objects, fragile human communities, and new visual mythologies, these paintings shift our perspective beyond the human scale. Nature, technology, death, and regeneration coexist, in a worls where a failed printer becomes a monument, worn tyres frame an idyllic horizon, and a grave is overtaken by fresh vegetation.

New Hope is not an easy optimism. It is a paradoxical form of hope: one that asks us to reconsider our place in the history of the Earth, rather than simply in the history of humanity.

You can discover the series in the upcoming show at the National Museum of Art of Moldova () in Chișinău.

's practice has developed as a distinctive form of photographic realism charged with humour, irony, reflection, and a persistent, if fragile, sense of hope. His figurative paintings move between everyday scenes, psychological states, and devastated or dystopian landscapes, capturing moments of uncertainty, adaptation, and the search for a new equilibrium in a rapidly changing world.

Over the past two decades, his works have entered major private and institutional collections in Romania and abroad, affirming his position as one of the most highly regarded contemporary painters of his generation.

NEW HOPE brings an overview of his scope of work and traces back the last years of social metamorphosis. The works presented in the exhibition, the majority now placed within private homes, continue this trajectory. After traveling through Brașov, Timișoara, Bucharest, Sibiu, Tulcea, NEW HOPE marks a key moment in the artist’s career arriving in Chisinau.

“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.

We are approaching the opening of the Chișinău edition of ‘NEW HOPE”.

The show opens at the National Museum of Art of Moldova on July 29, 2026.

Framed as a possible “interregnum”, a moment in which the old world has dissolved and the new one has yet to fully emerge, “NEW HOPE” approaches hope as a fragile and paradoxical condition. It persists despite collapse, reappears in unstable forms, and becomes a way of navigating a reality shaped by rupture, post-truth, and ongoing transformation.

Born in 1974 in Ghetlova, Republic of Moldova, Roman Tolici studied in Bucharest, where he continues to live and work. His practice, associated with a photographic realism infused with lyrical and subtly surreal undertones, has been exhibited internationally, including in Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the United States. He is considered one of the leading artists of his generation.

Tolici’s process is a place of constant debate, where images emerge between control and uncertainty, and painting becomes a space for negotiating reality. Part of the NEW HOPE series, these works reflect on a world marked by tension and transformation, where hope persists in fragile, shifting forms.

Painting is the activation of an entire arsenal of survival strategies and the artist keeps a tension defined by hope at his core.

Organized by Mobius Gallery and the National Museum of Art of Moldova, with the support of the Government of the Republic of Moldova through the Ministry of Culture.

’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.
