On May 18, the opening of the exhibition of paintings by Serafima Potapova "Favourites" took place in the gallery "Rakurs" (2nd floor).

Serafima Potapova (1945-2019) is an easel artist, decorator, painter, founder and head of the unique workshop "Dancing Artists".

Charlie Chaplin, mermaids, animalistic images (stone lion, fish, crows, butterflies), withered flowers, angels, landscapes from travels, portraits of people dear to her are the author's favourite themes. All these images lived for a long time on the canvases of the artist, each time surprising with their interpretation. The variability of favorite characters, plots, compositions created new faces of characters, a palette of moods rich in nuances.
