According to Antonina Zolotova, director of the Petro Panch Library: “For two weeks, library visitors had the opportunity to admire a collection of paintings and graphics, which are the result of understanding the inner world of man and meditative dialogue with the surrounding silence… The content of the paintings and graphics reveals deep emotions and philosophical reflections of both amateur artists and titled artists with many years of experience in science and art.”
