*A Triple Celebration of Artistic Expression:

Three Solo Exhibitions Open from January 11 to January 19**

Art enthusiasts are invited to experience the brilliance of contemporary art through three solo exhibitions showcasing the works of acclaimed sculptor Leonid Filitsyan, celebrated painter Maxine Hoover, and visionary artist Yelena Kimelblat.

These exhibitions will be held concurrently at MoRA Art Museum 80 Grand Street, Jersey City NJ from January 11 to January 19—exhibitions curated by Yelena Kimelblat.

**Leonid Filitsyan - sculpture: "Forms in Motion"**
 

Renowned for his ability to breathe life into raw materials, Leonid Filitsyan's sculptures explore the relationship between form, space, and emotion. His collection captures the dynamic interplay between rigidity and fluidity, evoking a sense of movement within stillness. Crafted from bronze, steel, and mixed media, Filitsyan’s work challenges traditional notions of sculpture while inviting viewers to engage with the physicality of art. 

**Maxine Hoover - paintings: "The Light Within"**
 

Maxine Hoover’s solo exhibition presents a series of vibrant, large-scale paintings that delve into the complexities of color, texture, and light. Known for her intuitive approach to painting, Hoover’s work radiates energy and warmth, drawing the viewer into a world of emotional resonance and meditative beauty. Each piece offers a unique narrative, inviting personal interpretation. 

**Yelena Kimelblat - paintings: "Her Essence"** Yelena Kimelblat's art embodies a deeply feminine essence, weaving together emotion, grace, and introspection. Her works celebrate the strength and vulnerability of the feminine spirit.  She captures the intricate relationship between women and their inner worlds, nature, and universal themes of love and resilience. Kimelblat’s pieces evoke a dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to explore the depth and beauty of femininity through her evocative, ethereal creations. **Opening Reception and Artist Talks**
 

The exhibitions will officially open with a joint reception on Saturday, January 11 from 6 pm to 8 pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists and hear firsthand about their inspirations and creative processes.
