The exhibition, organized by AIEFA and Summit Agro Romania in partnership with the Association for the Promotion of Tourism in Oradea and its Surroundings (APTOR), enjoyed the patronage of AIEFA and the auspices of the International Federation of Photographic Art, recognized by UNESCO. At the opening, besides the author, Associate Professor Dr. Ramona Novicov, art historian and critic, also spoke. The opening of the exhibition of photographer Milan Uhrin AFIAP, AZSF, entitled “The Rhythm of Life” (https://eurofotoart.ro/expo-milan-uhrin-afiap-azsf-ritmul-vietii/) took place at the FIAP Exhibition Center Oradea – Romania. The large audience present at the event was welcomed by the photographer Ștefan Tóth István AFIAP, ESFIAP, president of AIEFA and curator of the exhibition, who praised the artistic and technical level of the exhibits: “Rarely can you see such a valuable exhibition of photographic art. It is evident that each photograph exhibited was analyzed several times by the author until the image reached its final form. It is to be appreciated that the exhibiting photographer used post-processing with great refinement and sensitivity. It is encouraging that the photographer Milan Uhrin AFIAP, AZSF is present in the exhibition with several exceptional photographs, made precisely in Oradea, a year ago, on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition of the members of the ‘Helios’ Photoclub from Komarno in Oradea”. Associate Professor Dr. Ramona Novicov, art historian and critic, emphasized in her speeches that: “Although I inaugurated two exhibitions of photographers representing two generations, it is encouraging that they collaborate in the creation of the exhibits. Although there is an age difference, in both exhibitions one can observe the artistic maturity of the authors! The exhibited photographs have behind them remarkable stories, which can be discovered during the viewing of the exhibitions. I am delighted to take part in the openings of such exceptional photographic art exhibitions!”. The exhibiting photographer expressed gratitude for the special conditions created by AIEFA for organizing and opening his personal exhibition in Oradea. In conclusion, the president of AIEFA handed the exhibiting photographer the EFA Patronage Certificate and later also the FIAP Auspices Certificate, which had arrived with a slight delay. The musical moments of the opening were provided by the viola artist Thurzó Sándor József, representative of the Community and Cultural Association Sola Fide (SFKKE), who performed several pieces from the Slovak, Romanian, and Hungarian repertoire. The event was broadcast online from the Facebook page of the Association: https://www.facebook.com/FIAPExhibitionCenterOradeaRomania. The exhibited photographs will also be shown on the screens of modern means of transport of the city of Oradea, thanks to the agreement concluded between AIEFA and OTL SA. The exhibition will remain available to the visiting public until August 20, 2025, on working days between 08:00 – 16:00, with free admission!
