Movement as a Form of Thinking

Participation in the International Cultural Programme of the Milano - Cortina 2026 Olympics

Keep Moving (2025) - collage artwork presented within the international project Athletes of Art, part of the Cultural Olympiad Milano-Cortina 2026.

The artwork Keep Moving, 2025 (collage art, print), was included in the printed brochure of the international art project Athletes of Art, presented as part of the Cultural Olympiad Milano-Cortina 2026 - the official cultural programme of the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2026.

The Cultural Olympiad is a long-term international platform through which the Olympic Movement collaborates with artists, musicians, and curators, exploring themes of movement, effort, endurance, and human energy through art.

The Athletes of Art project is built around the metaphor of the artist as an athlete - someone for whom movement is a way of existence. Discipline, repetition, risk, and working with the body and time connect the artistic process with the logic of sport.

The collage print Keep Moving entered this programme as a visual statement about movement that is not only physical, but also internal. Movement as a necessity - to continue, even when there is no guarantee of a result. Here, movement is not about speed; the path matters more than the finish line. It is a state in which a person remains alive, attentive, and thinking.

The publication of the work in the official project brochure situates it within the international cultural context of the Olympic Games and highlights a dialogue between contemporary art and Olympic values - endurance, presence, inner work, and respect for process.
