German Shamayev's Original Materials
A member of the International Animal Painters Union and the Eurasian Art Union, German Shamayev uses carpets and animal hides instead of traditional canvas.
Combining the natural texture of leather and wool with detailed craftsmanship, the artist achieves a three-dimensional and extremely realistic appearance in his works.
Yulia Moreva's Portraits and Landscapes
The exhibition's other artist, Yulia Moreva, stands out in the art world with her contemporary approach to portrait and landscape works.
A member of the International Academy of Contemporary Art and the Union of Professional Artists of Russia, Moreva continues her work on canvas.
In the artist's works, human figures, nature, and different aspects of life are handled with a unique pictorial language.
